Being a few generations behind is kinda par for the course for any server hardware that's put in production, this is not a gaming PC build. Hopefully they're working on bringing their hardware up to date, since efficiency is a key consideration for the class of workloads they're aiming at.

No it’s not. Normally if you’re buying server hardware you don’t start with a CPU that’s already 5 years old and last-generation RAM that isn’t even manufactured at scale any more.

CPUs have advanced a lot in recent years. The jump from Zen 3 to Zen 5 is very substantial.

From what they say and their podcast its pretty clear that they already have the next generation sled and likely already sell it to existing costumers, its just not on the website.
