Agreed, but, not really for servers/enterprise usage which the parent thread was about...

For example, I7/I9 is much cheaper and more powerful than entry level Xeons, but, you VERY rarely see them in a rackmount chassis/server.

Same goes for Epyc and Ryzen.

The main enterprise thing you get from Xeon and not Core is ECC memory, but Ryzen does support ECC memory, and anybody can put it in a rackmount chassis.

Whether or not it's common, it's available if you want it.
