Jeez, I wish I could get AMD to give me one of these to try out xc [1] on it with some RX9070XTs installed - those benchmarks would be a thing of beauty :) The problem with high-end hardware is that (especially these days with the RAM prices) it's just so damn expensive.

I am not sure if I am more excited for the Zen6c 256 Core 512vCPU or the 88 Core Nvidia Vera. I have been looking forward to this for so long unfortunately we are in an AI Boom which means capacity for these will be limited while demand are skyrocketing.

In terms of per system / server that is easily an 50%+ increase in performance with Core count and IPC from last generation Zen 5. And there are plenty of server still on Zen 4 and Zen 3.

On x86 side IPC continues to lack behind ARM. Vera is showing great results without a much increase in die space, and it is still on 3nm. I only wish we could have 256 Core Vera.

I hope we get an update from Netflix team on streaming 1.6TB/s per box with these new chips.
