I priced out a server from our usual vendor. A half-depth 1U server with dual 6Gbps SSDs and a ~50% faster CPU and 16GB of RAM would come out at around 1000euro from them (so about 20% of the price in the article). With a 800GB Intel NVMe PCIe card, it&#x27;d come out at about 2000 euro (they didn&#x27;t have prices for smaller NVMe cards in their quote generator at the moment, but you should be able to shave at least 500euro of that and still get the performance).<p>If you&#x27;d go for maximum CPU matching the quoted price instead, you&#x27;d easily get 8-16 cores each faster than the old Xeon cores in question depending on CPU model and other specs.
