7nm AMD EPYC “Rome” CPU with 64C/128T to Cost $8K (56 Core Intel Xeon: $25K-50K)

Today, the prices of these server parts have also surfaced, and it seems like they are going to be quite a bit cheaper than the competing Intel Xeon Platinum processors. Moving down the ladder, we’ve got the 48-core and 32-core variants, the Epyc 7642, 7552, 7542 and the 7502/P, with the P variant once again costing just $2.5K. Comparing it to the Intel Xeon Platinum 9221 which also comes with the same core count (but a higher power draw of 250W and a boost clock of 3.7GHz) you will have to pay north of $20K. If you look into Intel territory, the 8-core Xeon Platinum 8253 costs $3K and packs just 8-cores and half as much cache as its Epyc competitor.
