I hoped this would explain the anomaly in AMD EPYC 3rd gen Milan pricing for the 24 core "F" (frequency optimized) parts being cheaper than the 16 core ones, but I still can't see any hint to the reason: model | cores | price | 73F3 | 16 | $3521 | 74F3 | 24 | $2900 | <- cheapest 75F3 | 32 | $4860 | Same for 4th gen Genoa : model | cores | price | 9174F | 16 | $3850 | 9274F | 24 | $3060 | <- cheapest 9374F | 32 | $4850 | The 24-core parts have the same number of CCDs, and thus same total L3 cache, and a higher turbo than the 32-core parts.
