This is comparing far more than Xeon vs. EPYC, not even a single mention of the storage subsystem on these respective machines. It's not like the tasks being timed are 100% CPU-bound...

On the other hand, the EPYC server is 50% less per month so I believe it is showing how much more you can get for less $.

The EPYC server only has a quarter of the RAM though, so it’s really apples vs. oranges to compare prices directly.
