$129K buys you a lot of dual 22-core servers.

What kind of server pricing are you getting? Base servers are cheap, but add high-end Xeons and memory, not to ignore interconnect and I get something like 7 ok configured 1U servers for $129K (2 20 core w lots of RAM, 10GbE NICs and mirrored boot/swap). No interconnect switching. That's for 20 core Haswell because I don't yet have discount pricing for Broadwell Xeons. I'm sure one could do better at hyperscaler discount but this is startup low-ish quantity.
