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.
Agree, i still have a DD 1950x threadripper from, like, 10 years ago. Built it for something else, use it for literally everything now. It is outperformed by almost any newer gen AMD cpu and its a bottleneck with a 6900xt, but all of this is to be expected, it wasnt a powerhouse single core then and it definitely shows its age now.
You can grab the 2x series for cheap now. You should upgrade it if you want to get a little more life out of the board. The MBs are stupid prices even today though.
