This must include the GPUs, otherwise it'd be 136,408 sockets. For a 42U rack with 4P 1U servers (not that that's what's in use, but to give an understandable napkin figure), that'd be 812 racks.

Frontier's own page says 74 "cabinets"/racks, and this is just for the compute (and perhaps switching and/or power? storage is elsewhere). Made up of 9408 nodes, with 4 MI250X gpu accelerators each- those accelerators being dual chip + 8x HBMe2 memory a piece monsters. From Anandtech[1], we can see the liquid-cooled half-width sleds are dual socket, and packed packed packed.

Bit hard to guess what a 'core' would be on a gpu. Compute unit / streaming multiprocessor perhaps.
