Interesting! they are offering 22-cores Power9 chip for $2.5k each, that is significantly cheaper than a 22 cores Xeon (2696v4).

can't wait to see some benchmark results showing what you can get from a dual 22-cores Power9. too bad that Phoronix only has the results for the dual 8-cores setup.

For the lazy, recommended price of the Xeon is $4000-ish on ark.

And the Power9 is SMT4, so that's 88 threads instead of 44 !
