AMD’s 64-Core Threadripper 3990X, only $3990 Coming February 7th
When I left Sun in 1995 their "biggest" Iron was the Enterprise 10K (which internally was called "Dragon" because of the Xerox bus) A system with 64 cores and 256GB of RAM was just under 2.5 million dollars list. It needed over 10kW of power provided by a 60A 240V circuit. The power cord weighed in at like 20 lbs. I put together a new desktop with the TR3960 and 128GB of ECC ram, that motherboard will take the 3990 and 256GB of RAM if I chose to upgrade it. It really boggles my mind what you can fit under your desk these days with a single 120V outlet.
