So how does this not cannibalize their Epyc business? It has higher base frequency than Epyc, typically a bit cheaper than Epyc and it now has up to 2TB of ECC

It has higher base frequency than Epyc, typically a bit cheaper than Epyc and it now has up to 2TB of ECC RAM support.
Not complaining. The perf/$ is amazing.
- theevilsharpie 6y agoPeople buying Epyc are concerned about perf/watt and density, which are both areas where Threadripper Pro isn't competitive with Epyc. There might be certain use cases where Threadripper Pro might displace Epyc, but for the most part, they aren't competing in the same markets.

- simlevesque 6y agoYou can't buy just the CPU and build from scratch. If you want to do this you'll be stuck with Epyc.
- derision 6y agoIt does somewhat, which is why they're trying to control it through OEM channels.
