This is probably not the most appropriate comparison to make. Processor generations across such a wide time period such as a decade ago(when the Opteron was commercially available) aren't comparable to todays similar core counterparts. That said, one can compare scores to see the numbers behind what you're paying for: AMD Opteron : https://browser.geekbench.com/processors/1550 https://browser.geekbench.com/processors/1550 AMD EPYC: https://browser.geekbench.com/processors/2142 https://browser.geekbench.com/processors/2142 Support for faster memory, more PCIe lanes, advanced networking are just some of the differences that the technology family as a whole of current processors offers as a differentiator to processors available in 2011.

I prefer https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=AMD+Opteron+6272&id=1569 https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=AMD+Opteron+6272&id... vs https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=AMD+EPYC+7351P&id=3124 https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=AMD+EPYC+7351P&id=3... AMD Opteron 6272: Multi-Core Score 4368, Single Thread Score 741 AMD EPYC 7351P: Multi-Core Score 15792, Single Thread Score 1691 So the AMD EPYC 7351P is more than twice as good in Single Thread usage and more than 3.5x times as good in Multi-Core computation.

  But it is more than 10x cheaper.

    That depends on the context of cheap, e.g. how much would it cost to run these chips 24/7 for 5 years based on their TDP (performance per watt).
