Well I think we're entirely dependent on the next StH article about those forthcoming Supermicro motherboards along with pricing, availability and inevitable teething problems; but if AMD are expecting to gain traction then I'd expect price per core to be considerably less than that of the Xeon D/D2100 series, and hopefully coming in at a lower power budget.
Chuffed to see them perform as well as they do given the relatively low base and boost clock speeds, and the current line up would be ideal for pfsense/networking kit but the lack of extra SATA and/or 10GbE limits the utility for the time being. The Epyc 3000 SoC is meant to have "up to" 16x SATA and 8x10GbE (albeit likely the lacklustre amd-xgbe) available so hopefully SKUs exercising those options - or even just some extra PCIe slots - will emerge at some point.
