One thing notable of Sierra Forest is that the CPUs don't have SMT (only 1 thread per core), so in theory it doesn't suffer from speculative execution attacks.
Epyc CPUs still provides more PCIE lanes, which is crucial for GPUs.

I did hear that they're killing off hyper threading which is a bummer but I guess those P cores would make up for it.
Intel generally target Xeon products for enterprise servers and workstations. They usually also come with very high price tag to differentiate from retail offering. For most of us, it’s generally drooling over them for 5 years, wait until they’re out of warranty, and buy them from companies offloading servers that are no longer under warranty for a still-hefty-but-more-affordable price.
