Judging by AMD's Q2 financials, there most probably isn't insatiable demand for EPYC CPUs right now. But probably AMD won't sell the chips with discount as Threadrippers, either because they already sit finalized in EPYCs in a warehouse, or to prevent companies buying lots of Threadrippers and using them in datacenters. They probably want to make the big money in the datacenter, and they're willing to take a short-term revenue hit if it helps to motivate the buyers to spend in the future.
