I think AMD clearly tried to market their TR line with the intention of attracting workstation users but clearly (at least to me) the features are aimed more towards competing with Intel in the consumer gaming/custom builder arena.I'm still severely dissapointed that there is no proper Workstation or Server level Ryzen or ThreadRipper Motherboards with UDIMM ECC and IPMI. The Processors themselves are fine, is the fact that there are only consumer type platforms what annoys me.
Fortunately for me, I actually do want a more consumer build that also has some workstation like features (lots of cores/PCIe lanes, etc.) so the TR is very attractive to me.
