Neither Intel or AMD support SMP with consumer chips. To go dual-processor with AMD you have to buy EPYC skus, which are several times more expensive than their threadripper core-count equivalents.


FWIW, EPYCs sell on ebay with $/core prices much closer to threadripper prices-- presumably that's closer to what AMD is selling them for to large companies after discounts.

The MSRP on them is ... quite staggering though!
