64 cores? how much would that cost? around $1k or more? is this for the consumer line or server line of products?

> around $1k or more?

I'd expect closer to $4000 or more.

Neither or both. Threadripper has high-clocks (like consumer) and high-core counts (like servers). It'd be for "workstations".

This indicates 3995WX supports not only 8ch but also RDIMM/LRDIMM that's not supported on current Threadripper. It should need a new Socket rather than current TRX40 (TRX80 was rumored a year ago). Threadripper gets closer to EPYC.

I expect PCIe lanes limitation still remains for make difference (It's many even limited).

The 64-core 3990x is MSRP $4000. I’d expect this new fangled 3995WX to be that much or more.

CPU and motherboard prices aren't really relevant since RAM is so expensive. And only real reason for getting this instead of 3990x is that you need e.g. 1 terabyte of RAM. https://www.amazon.com/Tech-12x128GB-2933MHz-PC4-23400-288-P...

What workload do you have in mind?
