Threadripper Pro 7955WX retail? (lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz)

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?

If I remember correctly the threadripper pro cpus were only sold to prebuilt vendors, so as an individual those are likely your only options.

Edit: Or get one of the non pro threadrippers like the 7960x

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.
