Threadripper Pro remains available only to original equipment manufacturers at the moment. Back in July 2020, reports suggested it could launch as a standard product by December 2020 (for instance, heise.de, a German technology site). Do you have any additional details or recent updates about its availability?

Pro is designed exclusively for companies and experts requiring enhanced protection, which is why it's limited to OEM offerings.

This seems confusing. The high-performance EPYC chips from AMD are now accessible to regular users too. Why exclude us?

The main distinction lies in added security features.

It's not just about security, I'm worried. Review the datasheets or specifications. If you compare directly, a standard Zen-2 Threadripper can support up to 256GB RAM across four channels. It doesn<|pad|>, so no RDIMMs or LRDIMMs. A Zen-2 Epyc with similar core count can manage around 2 terabytes of memory across eight channels, but it runs slower—usually about a gigahertz less than a Threadripper. That's the balance. Threadripper PRO offers the best of both: fast clock speeds and memory capabilities (both size and channel count) for Epyc processors. That's the main advantage—no compromise.

It seems Linus' team created a video on this subject in March.
