It is pointed out that the threadripper does worse per core when under full load than even high core count consumer CPUs like the 3950x/5950x. That's the tradeoff you make for huge core count CPUs. 4x 3950x might do better, but then you need to build 3 other PCs, and for actual processing tasks, co-ordinate stuff to run across multiple systems.
