AMD Releases Ryzen Threadripper PRO, professional CPU series
AMD yesterday launched the professional CPU "Ryzen Threadripper PRO" series for the global market, actually, the series has been announced last year already, but will become commercially available this month.
For Ryzen Threadripper PRO the memory channels are doubled from 4 channels to 8 channels based on the 3rd generation Ryzen Threadripper. In addition, the number of lanes of PCI-Express 4.0 has been expanded to 128, and security functions such as AMD Secure Processor and AMD Memory Guard have been added.
The 64 cores / 128 threads "Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3995WX" (base 2.7GHz / maximum 4.2GHz / total cache 288MB) and 32 cores / 64 threads "Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3975WX" (base 3.5GHz ) have been released this time. / Maximum 4.2GHz / Total cache 144MB), 16 cores / 32 threads "Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3955WX" (Base 3.9GHz / Maximum 4.3GHz / Total cache 72MB) 3 models.
The Ryzen Threadripper PRO are more similar to AMD's Epyc processors, but are positioned for workstation use. You need WRX80 mainboards with the already mentioned sWRX8 socket.
Compared to the “normal” Ryzen Threadripper models, they have a slightly lower clock rate, but they also offer eight active memory channels and 128 PCI Express 4.0 lanes. In addition, they are released for up to 2 terabytes of RAM.

I don't get it... how are you supposed to take advantage of all those lanes? Are there any motherboards that are wired up for that? Or memory channels for that matter? And what separates these from Epyc chips at this point?
Well no, that's what the non-pro versions are for.
"Boss - I need this chip for work"
"Tell IT to get it for you"
"Thanks"

Does it matter whose budget it comes out of? It's an IT requirement for a company, and, people working from home that have a need for lots of cores and threads is a justifiable business CAPEX because of the OPEX requirements to meet the needs of the staff who need lots of cores and threads.
You always give your staff what they need to do the job they are doing, because they themselves are a business cost.
Besides, what mostly happens is that the clients of these hypothetical companies see a few 'consultancy' charges to their invoices, and even they themselves will then just up their costs to their clients.
The employee is the last person to deal with something like how much things cost.

I do not see the issue here, if your workload benefits from more ram bandwidth, this is a winner over the previous one.
4000$ or 5100$ moves little here.

If that were the case then why not just by Epycs?
That's like saying "the customer is always right" which is very much not the case. You give your employees the tools they need to do the job well. If the employee proves to be loyal and effective, only then could they ask for something extraordinary. If every company just gave every employee what they asked for because of "business costs", companies would go bankrupt.
They're also the one who has to convince the higher-ups that its worth the investment.

Do these have more PCIe lanes? That would make a difference in film editing and multimedia production or anywhere else where you need to move large files quickly, I suppose.
