Threadripper uses quad-channel DDR4-2666 memory. That gets you 80 GB/s memory bandwidth, which is possible because the processor sits in an enormous 4094-pin TR4 socket. Your Xeons were probably in 2011 pin sockets with DDR3-1866 resulting in 70 GB/s memory bandwidth. One Threadripper has more than double the pin count and slightly more total memory bandwidth than your dual Xeon machine.

Also, your the Intel setup has a 25 GB/s QPI bus between the processors. Threadripper runs an Infinity Fabric bus, with 42 GB/s between each die internally (aggregate 170 GB/s). While a couple of those internal dies are not directly connected to the memory, you should have little trouble sharing meals among those hungry processors.
