Now if they would only release a version of it with the VCache... I wonder how stupidly expensive that would be!

Still, for people looking to build a proper TR machine, this is actually great news. I'm sure there's plenty YT'ers out there happy about this.

I didn't follow the sales of Lenovo TR Pro 5xxx workstations. Was the uptake any good?

It is amazing how quickly we went from $750 to the xeon pricing structure in the threadripper line.

You don't have to guess. AMD said it in the press announcement.

Examining what our most demanding enthusiasts and content creators value most in the platform has led us to unify the Threadripper and Threadripper PRO product lines. Going forward, the Threadripper platform will now use a single “common infrastructure.” This means there will be one set of Threadripper PRO processors to choose from, with one CPU socket and chipset, and every processor will be based on AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO silicon
