If you are on the fence as to whether or not you need this, you definitely don't need it.

Pretty much. You can get the same core/thread counts on AM5 and with much cheaper motherboards. The only reason to go with a 16 core Threadripper is if you know for a fact that you need more memory channels or PCIe lanes than you can get from a 16-core Ryzen.

I thought these kind of CPUs are irrelevant compared to GPUs. I.E. you'll get more performance upgrading your GPU.

But if you are finding a cure for Cancer with these I salute you.

T-Pain didn't even get one when he went shopping at Micro Center and they sell Threadrippers. He's doing 3D modeling, Video Editing, gaming and VR.

These CPUs offer more PCIE lanes so you can run multiple GPUs for AI tasks

Threadripper systems were always so interesting, but for me retained value too long relative to developments on desktop platforms. If I ever want to tool around with 16 cores (without the need for massive RAM or PCIe capacity), it would be trivially easier and cheaper for me to just toss a sub-$300 CPU in one of my aging AM4 motherboards(!).

Good luck!
