Really? 'Entry-level' EPYC's (7F52) have 256MB of L3 cache for 16 cores.

I don't think there's any Intel CPU's with more than 36MB L3?

77MB for 56 cores. That's that ploy where they basically glued two sockets together so they could claim a performance per socket advantage even though it draws 400W and that "socket" doesn't even exist (the package has to be soldered to a motherboard).

IIRC the only people who buy those vs. the equivalent dual socket system are people with expensive software which is licensed per socket.
