Uh, do you have some kind of plx set up or……no bifurcation on z690 except x8/x8

no you can definitely say no

SOC does not mean a full computer, it’s a mobile chip, every mobile board is quite small, you have zero idea what you’re talking about, this post is useless

actually i’d be looking at 8004 which should hit retail very soon. Should be even more efficient. Either way, both will outperform any v4 system. Don’t worry too much about the 200W, i’m sure you idle at 100W each node now. Not only does Epyc idle much lower, i doubt you’ll be hitting 100% cpu usage. No experience with 9004 yet, but i love 7003.

Huh, it’s been like this for awhile because every apple related news article gets posted. but yes i hate it too

There’s literally a JBOD version of those supermicro cases
