Single thread performance is not really a good metric for what this proc is designed for. There are few, if any, server designed softwares that would even need to test single-thread.

It's still a desktop CPU, there are people who will want to play games on it when they aren't compiling code or rendering videos.

Isn't it a "workstation" CPU rather than a "desktop"? Afaik it's aimed at productivity software, not games

Correct, it's still based on their epyc chips and is more for workstation duty than for a desktop.
