I'm planning on building a workstation with the 7955WX, but I can't find it for sale anywhere except sketchy CPU resellers and eBay.

But I can buy a Lenovo ThinkStation P8 with one, and that honestly seems like the better deal after pricing out a custom build. I'd be bringing an AMD 6800 XT and an Nvidia 3070 Ti over, so no GPU required.

Thoughts or advice?

Interesting, Amazon has other TR Pro CPUs, like the 7965WX and 7995WX. I guess the 7955 just isn't in as much demand.

I'm much prefer a Pro since they have a lot more PCIe lanes than the non-Pros, but I may look into the regular TRs, just to see...

Ah you’re right, I was think of the 3000 series threadripper pros.
