To get incredibly powerful processors, you'll have to pay incredibly high prices. These will be some of the best AMD CPUs that you can buy, so high prices are to be expected. The recommended price for the Threadripper Pro 3995WX is $5,489. The Threadripper Pro 3975WX ($2,749) and Threadripper Pro 3955WX ($1,149) aren't cheap either.
If you're used to looking at the best CPU for your custom build, the prices for the Threadripper Pro CPUs will seem high. But the Threadripper Pro processors are built for professional use. In professional industries, it's normal to pay thousands of dollars for a CPU.
