  I believe they can also do Dual Socket, which means in a single server unit, We could have

  2 x 256 = 512 CPU Core, or 1024 vCPU in cloud computing terms.

  16 Memory Channel. 1.6TB/s memory bandwidth.

  200GB/s SSD RAID System.

  That is more computing power in a single 2U server than a whole rack of servers in 2010. I am only hoping Zen 6 will actually improve IPC, performance / watt compared to ARM counterpart is still so far off.
