Sure, but you can get (much) better price-performance-power out of a CPU which isn't approaching a decade old, when mining ASIC and GPU-resistant cryptocurrencies like Manero. I don't know it'd be worth the effort to buy E5-2697-v4 CPUs which are running in such a specialized configuration over and above AMD Ryzen or EPYC CPUs in commodity, inexpensive mainboards.

Depends on the price this supercomputer sells at.
