Actually, AMD's way back into servers is Epyc, not Threadripper. Threadripper is AMD's answer to Intel's HEDT.

My mistake, didn't read enough to realize we were only talking about threadripper. Thought Epyc was part of the conversation... Thanks for the catch.

I have been eyeballing A Ryzen 1700 as A upgrade to A few PCs I have running (as in dropping 3x pcs for ESXi VMs) .. but not sure if I am try to talk my self into or out of getting A 1950x .

1700
Pros
Cheaper, only 65w, all I really need to replace 3computers and only need 2 sticks of ram to get up and running

cons
Not as cool ?
-----
1950x
Pros
More core for ea VM or more VMs, More PCIe Lans for VMs, faster clocks per VM

Cons
Cost $$$(Ram/ MB / CPU / Cooling / Overall) , Overkill, 180w
....


Hmm now after that thinking maybe 2700x will be my best bet.

I recently built 2 ESXi hosts for clients, one using TR and the other using a 1800. Honestly you cant go wrong either way but if I were you, i'd wait for the Ryzen 2700 (i think?) if its still coming or go threadripper if you need the PCI lanes.
