Agreed. Perfect? Nope. Great? Yep.

That's nice work framing the differences between AMD and Intel.

It'd be better to compare 7401P with dual Silver 4116, because both those have roughly the same performance and power consumption.
I was looking at Thinkmate for the difference in price between a dual Xeon 4116 and Epyc 7401P 24 NVMe server. The Xeon is $7,745.00 (minimally configured: Supermicro Ultra SuperServer 2029U-TN24R4T). The Epyc is $5,868.00 (TYAN TN70A-B8026).
So, that's $1877 in the difference. It's true the SSDs dwarf that cost, but that doesn't mean I would lose all reason when choosing the other components of the system. I treat the two things as separate costs and I would not burn $1800 for no reason.
