Re:S3 isn't getting cheaper

It’s noteworthy to me that available memory has not increased in some time. You can find machines with more memory, and perhaps the number of classes has increased, but outside of very narrow envelopes it might be cheaper to have 2 m6i’s with undersubscribed CPUs than to try to increase the amount of cpu per core on something else.

This is mostly due to DRAM stagnation and Intel/AMD staying at 8 channels for a while. Memory capacity should increase with Genoa.
see the u6tb-1 and x2i machines
I don’t know what data center u6tb-1 is in but it’s not in the ones I use.
X2i is interesting, but may overshoot the mark for the service I’m thinking of, but might be appropriate for another. I may have to try again as to whether I can make the r6i math work.
