The GPU is significantly faster and it has cuda, though I'm not sure where it'd fit in the market.

At the lower price points you have the AMD machines which are significantly cheaper, even though they're slower and with worse support. Then there's apple's with higher memory bandwidth and even the nvidia agx Thor is faster in GPU compute at the cost of worse CPU and networking, and at the 3-4K price point even a threadripper system becomes viable that can get significantly more memory
