You really cant argue with that. I'm loving the selection to be honest. I mean I'm replacing 3x 24 thread systems 2x 6c/12t xeons with 192gb of memory each and I'm running out of resources so I'm thinking hopefully there is a 32/64 chip or bigger in there that with the required memory, plus other kit I'll need all comes in at less than something like 80k. Let's see what the pricing looks like. The last server I bought (a g9 again stacked with 2tb local storage) was something like 10k so fingers crossed these arent stupid and I've budgeted enough.
Well at least DRAM prices on on your side presently, do you spec RAM per core? I doubt the prices will be stupid, but again all depends on if HP try to fleece you elsewhere in the system, if you are going 1P then it should keep the price down quite a bit.
