I think AMD have been really clever in how the have built the Zen system, unlike Intel these higher end CPUS are basically just multiple lower end ones put together. This means they don't need different fabrication (they just build ryzen7 CPUs) and given they have such good yields on those chips know they can bring the price down. I would expect this chip to be at most 2x a ryzen 1800.

However, it is not jus the chip cost for these systems its also the mainboard if AMD can get the motherboards to be cheaper then that will make a big difference in the overall price.
