Ahh. So Threadrippers appear to be a go! OTOH the Threadripper 2950X @
16/32 cores/threads (the smaller of them) has the lowest TDP @ 180W.
The 64/128, and the others weigh in @ 280W. With that kind of wattage.
I can remove the heating system in the office, or house. ;-)
The 3700X mentioned in your link looks a little easier on the power
bill. :-) Probably performs comparable too. I'll need to investigate
further.

Not surprised, and that's fine by me. :-)

Thanks for the insight, Till!
