Can you smell the glue on that 56 core?

Upto 8 sockets per machine? I guess if you can use over 400 fast cores for a workload that requires as much inter socket bandwidth as possible nothing would come close atm, maybe AMD could respond with Epyc2 systems beyond 2P. I guess since they're going to go for specific major datacentre customers & workloads with a lot of these SKUs they're going for as many niches as possible to try to keep it relevant post Zen2, since that is a pretty niche use case for x86 cores.

That smell ain't glue. It's the smell investor's make when a rival starts taking market share from their invested business. Sweat and poo.
8 packages of 56 cores and 128 threads? Does it come with its own nuclear power generator too? Bet the synthetic benchmarks would love this.

Irony comes full circle and they don't even realize it I bet.
