> This is the denialist argument ??? My argument is, look at server power/performance. AMD EPYC takes the crown. 80-core ARM does not. Maybe M1 will win, but we've at best got like 8 cores right now. As I stated earlier: M1 cores are huge. I'm not convinced they're better yet, but if Apple wants to make a 32-core M1 or M2 and compare it to an AMD EPYC 64x2 computer, that's when I'll start looking. We will see what they can do moving forward, but I don't expect that this M1 core can scale to a manycore size like EPYC (or Xeon, to a lesser extent). Benchmarks are always crap, but they're the best we've got. Benchmarks, for now, show that Dual EPYC still is your best computer. At least for the server-scale that Supermicro operates at. ------- ARM themselves are keen on this. ARM has V, N, and E cores moving forward because they're heading their bets. This Supermicro system is probably an N2 or N1 system? (I haven't looked into it much). No one else in the world is making cores as large as Apple's M1. Its an aberration, abnormally huge. If Apple fans find it useful then cool but there's other workloads out here. I'm not fully convinced that such a large core like M1 is the best design.
