EPYC has double the PCIe lanes, double the DRAM channels, and will have enterprise level support. Threadripper is classified by AMD as a Ryzen family product, and is consumer focused (or super high-end desktop focused) rather than enterprise focused. TR will be on shelves, EPYC will not. AMD's 16-core EPYC part (the 1P 7351P) is around $750, but supports 2TB/socket and 128 PCIe lanes in exchange for a good chunk of frequency (2.4G base, 2.9G Turbo). Threadripper is also single socket only - most of EPYC is 2P. Though given Intel's pricing, if AMD has the ecosystem, then the mid-range of the Xeon line might migrate to TR/EPYC. |
