> The latest AMD server processors have 64 cores and 128 threads. Their newest Zen 5, Turin server processors are rumored to have 192 cores. On a dual socket server, you'll be near the 400 core count with 768 threads. You can serve the world from a single box.
Even if the math is a bit off on the 11 MB/sec due to spikes he's got a point...
The world's population grows at a much slower pace than server processors. Heck, we're even talking about population degrowth now in many paces. Meanwhile AMD shall keep coming up with beefier and beefier servers.
For many non-FAANGs what couldn't be done 15 years ago on a single box is now totally doable on one. And this trend shall only continue.
