A single socket AMD threadripper 3995WX (the "ECC" version just released) is likely going to destroy a dual socket Xeon 8275+ (the ones used for the Amazon C5 metal instance) in most benchmarks like the 3990X did, while running at roughly the same power and a fraction of the price. Once AMD convinces cloud providers that its ECC works just as well as Intel's, there's really nothing holding AMD back from taking a huge chunk of the server market.
