Perhaps a bit of research before writing an article would be appropriate if you're not familiar with the topic. Then you would find the 3960X, a 24-core Threadripper with 280 W TDP. It was missing from the PRO range, but it was the base model in the standard, non-PRO line-up. And they all had 280 W TDP, regardless of configuration.

AFAIK the PRO models were OEM-only. And because they use a different socket in addition to being OEM-only, motherboards are a problem. I don't know about Lenovo, but the motherboard I tried from Asus was unpleasantly slow to boot. More like a server. Understandable (since it's essentially Epyc) but not desirable in a desktop product.
