The 2990WX doesn't support registered memory, which currently limits it to 128GB of RAM. Nobody seriously looking at a Xeon 8180M would consider the 2990WX as a suitable alternative. The closest competitor from AMD is the Epyc 7601.

Threadripper may come close in core count, but it cannot use registered memory, which means it's limited to 128 GB of RAM (based on the current maximum UDIMM capacities). That's not competitive in the server space.

Hyperthreading is Intel's implementation of SMT. However, since Intel was the only one doing SMT on x86 until very recently, hyperthreading has become the de facto generic name for it.

Ryzen will send a machine check exception to the OS in the event of a double-bit error. It's up to the OS on how to handle it. This also isn't a Ryzen-specific behavior. All x86 ECC-capable machines work this way.
