> There are a few things to note here. First take a look at AMD’s 1S Epyc pricing, specifically the 32C 7551P. It costs $2100 or a mere $101 more than the 28C Skylake-X for 14C more, 1.25TB more addressable memory, and no artificial fusings of bells and whistles. The math doesn't work out here: 32 cores isn't 14 cores more than 28 cores. I think this was a typo and the author meant to compare with the 18 core Skylake-X, which exists (whereas there is no 28 core model).
