Building a 64 thread cruncher

Lol, to keep things cheap huh? :-) Well one thing that won't be cheap is the monthly power bill... But then maybe Vaughan would go for it???? The computer that is, not someone elses power bill. hahaha

Of course I guess it would depend on how you load it up with work.

Power bill? Depends. I could replace my whole farm with one 32-core/64-thread behemoth, using just one PSU, One SSD, one GPU and one set of RAM and come out better -in terms of active threads- than my present setup.

But when economics come into play you'd be better off buying a dual EPYC board, and hope that a lower Wattage TDP EPYC2 indeed has 64-cores/128-threads per CPU.
