Sure, but the EPYC 7601 is infinitely more expensive.
The chip alone is $200 used and a compatible board is $400 minimum.
Meanwhile, you can get a pair of E5 2680 v3 for $15 and the shown board for $70.

They are also a good way to get more PCI-E lanes without having to go to HEDT hardware. Standard CPUs tend to have nowhere near enough PCI-E connectivity for modern times, imho.
Do it eBay my friend.
