Is it a pipe dream to have a dual AMD Threadripper Pro motherboard? I am shocked no one has one thus far. Why not? Almost every other top tear processor has a dual processor format (Intel Xeon/AMD Epyc).
Is there something about the AMD Threadripper Pro that will not allow you to slap two on a motherboard?
Those are server grade components that are designed to be used in multi socket configurations
Intel X series cpus can also not not be used in dual socket
To answer your question yes, they are only single socket cpus
the ‘limitation’ is there to protect the other tiers of CPUs. there is no technological reason for this limitation.
Segmentation… the same reason I don’t currently have a 5970X in my $900 mobo that only saw one CPU cycle… 
Though I at least understand the reason we don’t have dual socket TR. That really would eat into their own product lines intended for other purposes.
Thank you
I can understand and respect that for sure. The road of dual Intel Xeon is nice looking - from the outside looking in. But just for conversation. Intels price point for me does not hold real value. One of the main reasons, I have always used AMD. I wanted value in my purchase.
thank you so much!
i know it is like saying ‘your car is too fast,’ but at what workload could someone justify having dual 5995wx CPUs in a desktop? and if so, cool, build a dual EPYC workstation.
Even if I did have a workload like that it would make me nervous running it on desktop grade hardware. I’ve seen too many consumer motherboards die after even relatively light 24/7 usage to be comfortable with that.
