Has anyone heard of how well the threadrippers work on WCG? that 64 core looks really delicious, but the 24 is much more budget friendly. (Searched forums and found pictures of them working but no stats estimations

I don't have any hands on experience with Threadripper, just Ryzen.

From the posts I've read, TR seems to perform well but definitely isn't budget friendly as the mother board, DRAM and cooling solutions are very expensive (at least for me). Don't forget that TR likes all the memory slots occupied, e.g. 4x8GB DRAM rather than 2X16GB. Also, as you go up in TR core count, the minimum amount of DRAM you need goes up a lot, e.g. 64GB is what you need if you want 2GB of DRAM per thread. And of course you need DRAM that is fast, so you all of this adds to the build cost.

Basically, while the lower core count TR CPUs are cheaper, the necessary mother boards, DRAM and cooling hardware cost the same and, in absolute terms are high relative to what you need for Ryzen.

If you're not worried about electricity costs, older Xeon workstations are inexpensive, e.g. the older HPZ800 dual socket Xeon workstations were cheap (at least before the pandemic), but they're aren't power efficient by today's standards.
