The craziest thing about that 56-core CPU is its 400 watt TDP. Meanwhile 64-core Zen2 EPYCs top out at 225 watts.

  Not the rumored 50k price tag for the -M variant that doesn't have max memory artificially limited?

    I had no idea. That's... uh... why? I guess part of this nonsense is the consolidation of cloud vendors. Intel is selling CPUs the way IBM sold mainframes in the 1960s.

      If an uncrippled 28-core is $17K then putting two of those in one package is going to be over $35K.

        Unlocking the memory capacity is a flat fee regardless of how many cores, so I think a better comparison price for the overcosting is $20k locked / $28k unlocked.
