That's wild, although it seems to be server parts in a workstation case. I guess none of Intel's "desktop" chips support a dual/quad CPU configuration though, so that's your only choice. Quad 8 TB NVMe drives is definitely one way to get to $30K of parts pretty quickly.
- sbierwagen 5y agoNeither Intel or AMD support SMP with consumer chips. To go dual-processor with AMD you have to buy EPYC skus, which are several times more expensive than their threadripper core-count equivalents.
- nullc 5y agoFWIW, EPYCs sell on ebay with $/core prices much closer to threadripper prices-- presumably that's closer to what AMD is selling them for to large companies after discounts. The MSRP on them is ... quite staggering though!
