But you're comparing consumer/desktop to HEDT/server. They prioritize different things - the memory bandwidth is less of a bottleneck on desktop. While your premise is that the pricing is HEDT (based on a first generation part from 2017), the current Threadripper is a $6500 part that does still carry 8 memory channels, up to 3200Mhz. One would imagine that EPYC based on Zen 4c would have the memory throughput you crave, though I wouldn't hold your breath for $700 pricing. It's still hard to say how committed AMD is to the middle ground of HEDT. https://www.amd.com/en/products/cpu/amd-ryzen-threadripper-pro-5995wx https://www.amd.com/en/products/cpu/amd-ryzen-threadripper-p... https://www.servethehome.com/amd-ryzen-threadripper-pro-5995wx-wepyc-review-supermicro-gigabyte-kioxia-pny-nvidia-asus-lenovo/ https://www.servethehome.com/amd-ryzen-threadripper-pro-5995...
