Fun fact, it gets even more expensive (per GB) when you want to add RAM over 1.5TB, because Intel will crank up the cpu price just for higher ram support. Off the top of my head, the same cpu accepting 4TB was twice the price of the 1.5TB version, going at around $18000.
AMD's new epyc supports 4TB without artificial price increase, IMO some healthy competition for the server market.
- angry_octet 7y agoYeah people who need large RAM to compute will be buying lots of AMD. I'd like to see how the flash-as-RAM devices work out for some of these apps, i.e. is it purely single-threaded random access or can it be batched/cached?
