Lots of professionals just need more PCIe lanes than Ryzen/Core provide, and absolutely can’t afford 64, 96 or 128 cores. The 24 cores part is just great to get above the consumer ground, and four memory channels are more than enough for that.

Perhaps AMD fears that reasonably priced full fat TR would canabilize the EPYC market.

Then again let’s wait for mobos. It looks like there will be a lot of PCIe4 lanes available. 3 slots x16 PCIe5 if augmented by a bunch of x8 or x16 PCIe4 slots isn’t terrible.
