Wonder what the price will be like on the 64-core high-frequency version... if it's comparable to existing Epyc pricing, this might be the obvious answer for a CFD rig in 2027. Finally something with memory bandwidth way greater than a Mac Studio…

If you're after high clocks I think threadripper has usually been the cheaper option than epyc
CFD performance is dominated by memory bandwidth, not clock speed.
As is inference, BTW. Just remember you’ll need all memory sticks in place to get to that bandwidth. That’s expensive.
