I'm not tekky so forgive me if I'm grossly oversimplifying things here (or if I've got it completely wrong!).
Is Threadripper essentially 2 Ryzens stuck together to increase the cores?

I'm going to be buying a whole new rig soon so I'm trying to get my head around how the whole CPU hierarchy fits together these days (including Intel).

Is there going to be any real value to purchasing a Threadripper chip over the latest Ryzen for gaming?

Or how about longevity - would it be more sensible to go down the Threadripper path thinking it's likely to have a longer shelf-life in terms of future chip production?

I'm more than happy to be enlightened and have any misconceptions corrected - it's all a learning curve for me, but equally I'd like to get things right when I do buy the stuff.

thanks

Chris.
