[SOLVED] If AMD threadripper is not for gaming , why are intel 2066 and threadripper motherboards with the name Gaming in their brand name

with all that RGB and other gaming stuff, Do they need a gaming motherboard if they are trying to render Architectural projects in a company ?

I think some marketing smart guys figured out 'Gaming' in the name sells motherboards.

But you can most definitely game on a TR system: just reconfigure memory, disable unnecessary cores and go for it. Or run a rendering project in a VM while pounding out high scores in another one. It's all in how you configure it. I think it's pretty cool having that kind of flexibility with an HEDT workstation.

that's what i thought too , EPYC is server but ThreadRipper is gaming .

Marketing.

Add the label 'gaming' to anything, and it will sell more.

Even better if you add a $0 color stripe
Even better still if you add $1 LEDs.

So are you suggesting they use Gaming branded motherboards in architectural companies ? or for anime CGI ?

No.
But gamer people will buy it, when they otherwise might not.

Gaming RAM
Gaming desk
Gaming sneakers

We've had questions or articles on all of those.

They have no idea what inside the system they bought. They buy to a specification, if smart one based on performance criteria it must meet. But most likely Dell or HP (or the like) won't use a gaming branded motherboard as that's unnecessary for the market they're addressing.
