We're reaching an awkward point where these CPUs are getting so large that low-end models are going to become disproportionately overpriced. It seems like these CPUs are limited to strictly mainframes/datacenters. It doesn't seem like AMD is offering anything sensible for small businesses, but, I guess Intel needs a bone thrown to them because right now they still hardly have a complete response to the 7002 series.
It's funny though, how 32 cores is starting to sound a bit small.

Good heavens, 6,096 pins is enormous. I don't recall seeing any chip with that many.
For my purposes I am not sure if I would like the 3D cache or higher clock rates. I suspect if its only a 10 or 20% drop in frequency then the larger cache will likely make up for it. My application really benefits from larger cache as I have seen comparing it on an EPYC and a Threadripper with the same number of cores and similar clock rates. The EPYC is considerably faster, likely due to the cache but possibly also because more memory channels were used.

i hope to see a 128 cores threadripper to crunch thos renders pretty fast, this is verty exciting

yes TR has already taken the lower end of the market for servers as Intel has nothing interesting and has gone with software defined feature sets.
TR already transitioned to being Enterprise awhile ago even though it still keeps it's hedt wrappings the wx series are monsters.

all manufacturing businesses start at the high end as that's where the profit margin is.
it takes time to scale up volume enough to make money off of a 15% margin which is where a low end mass market part is at (for the most part & yeah exceptions to every rule).
which is why yield has a direct relationship to profitability - AMD has gone to chiplets which are high yield by design and also have a lower cost to produce. Intel decided to flood the market with AL and eat a lot of the production costs, which has to be measured in years not just dollars as every chip is monolithic and a lower yield, albeit at a newer more efficient process that's finally ready for "primetime".
be not afraid (of socket size) 😛
these are the products that make everything on the internet less expensive and more feature rich.
there are services just waiting to be invented as well as services that blow your socks off.

There's six dimms on the left of that socket but on the other side there's more than six which i found strange.
You'd think it would be 6+6 but it seem not the case at all. HH wrote it has 12 DIMMs but i count more.
