Is ram, heat, and network I/O not an issue with 128 cores in one box?

- wongarsu 5y agoIt can be a problem, or unlock efficiencies. 8x1Gbit vs 1x10Gbit LAN costs about the same, but having the 10Gbit LAN in one box gives you better burst performance than scattering your I/O across 8 boxes. Having all the RAM in one place might reduce how much RAM you need in total. But if you need huge amounts of RAM or network I/O, scattering it across many boxes is probably easier and cheaper. The heat from this CPU is fairly reasonable (about a RTX3070, to stay in consumer comparisons). It pays for that with low clock speed, so your workload has to somehow profit from having all the cores in one place.
