Still rocking my EPYC 7282 in my home server, which really sits in a sweet spots: 16 Cores, about $700, 120W TDP (because of the reduced memory bandwidth).
Looks like the 7303 fills that same niche in the Milan generation (and should be compatible with any ROME mainboard, possibly after a BIOS update), or if you're building a new system you can get the 32-Core Siena 8324PN for about 130W TDP.
(While it may be silly to look at TDP for a server CPU, it does matter for home servers if you want a regular PC Chassis and not a 1U/2U case with a 12W Delta cooling fan that is audible three cities over. In fact, you can get the 8-Core 80W 8324PN and still get all those nice PCIe lanes to connect NVMe SSDs to, and of course ECC RAM that doesn't require hunting down a specific motherboard and hoping for the best.)
