The target market for those chips buys almost exclusively from large OEM system builders, so that's where all the supply went.
Yeah it makes sense. Rarely do people custom build their own office machines. But they are great chips for low power with ECC. That's a rare thing to find when doing a custom build.
I've been trying to get one for a high efficiency build, but the sparse availability and relatively high cost (compared to non GE equivalent) is keeping me from buying one
I find the 4750G and 4650G come up on eBay often for decent prices. Not too different from the 5000 series PRO chips. I think slightly different cache amounts and of course just a bit slower performance (Zen2 vs Zen3). Still very efficient.
The only thing I'm not sure about is their max RAM amount. I know the 5X50G series supports 128GB (depending on mb), but can't find any info on the 4X50G series. I assume also 128GB like the non-PRO variants.
