The downside to anon comments, sometimes you get some real gems.

Patrick had already posted an article in April 2018 calling out the Xeon Platinum CPU as overpriced, “the Intel Xeon Platinum 8158 has a steep tax for being 8-socket capable”.
So, why would STH have bough such a unit?
Someone doesn't understand what a test platform is, or how you can't say something is overpriced without first testing it. :/

Nice overview piece John.

I responded to that one @Patriot

I see that as a part of the reason to do what we do. How can we call something a good value or not when we do not test it?
