AMD EPYC 7551 32-C 2GHz 180W LGA4094 SP3 CPU PS7551BDVIHAF - Grade A *Unlocked | eBay

Offer accepted at $68


Not bad price for a 32 cores cpu though i've seen it go as low as $55 before. This is the same multicore performance as a i7-13700K!

It's slightly slower than dual 2690 v4 which is way cheaper and have better performance/$ right now. But here's the things: you can't put in another dual 2690 v4 in a 2 cpu MB. But you can expand to dual 7551!

These have really come down in price lol, I paid £350/chip a few years ago... guess it's approaching e-waste territory.

Too bad motherboards prices has increased with 50%

Would be a nice path to a 64 core system if it wasn't for the mainboard prices. Even DDR4 registered is cheap.

Yeah, 3 months ago H11SSL was like 220 USD, now its almost 400 USD. Same with H11DSI. I would just go for H12SSL, almost same price, but pcie4 and Milan CPU support

Why the price increased?

Btw, price of H11SSL is actually $344 or less: Supermicro h11ssl-i interface sp3 version 2.0. Support epyc7001/7002 | eBay
H12SSL price $520 : Supermicro MBD-H12SSL-I-B Socket SP3/ Single AMD EPYC 7002/ DDR4/ SATA3&USB3.0/ | eBay

The H12 will not work with this CPU (you probably know, but want to clarify for new readers).

Aren't these 1st gen EPYC? I believe their performance is below broadwell? SkyLakes are most likely better choice. IIUC, 3rd gen EPYC where there is a major performance bump.

They also lack official Windows 11 support. Not sure how important that really is for some people but for product testing on my end, it's a must. Bypassing the checks may not work in the near future either.

Not below broadwell. As I stated, one 7551 cpu is just slightly slower than two 2690 v4 . You can use two 7551 cpu which would be significantly faster than even dual 2699 v4 which is the zenith of 2011 v3.

Single CPU takes the fun out of this deal, though.

H11DSi MB is certainly not cheap but you can definitely buy and use two 7551 cpus together for not much!

Single thread -16.5% against 2690v4. Multithread is about equal for 1v1. With 2x, yeah you're at a 2x advantage.

AMD single thread performance has been below intel for a while until fairly recently. But AMD multithread performance/$ has been significantly more than intel for a while now. My point being that with broadwell, you are pretty much limited to dual 2699 v4 as the max performance for the 2011-3. And dual 2699 v4 will run you almost $300 right now for the two intel cpu.

Meanwhile, two 7551 cpu will be faster than dual 2699v4 and you can still go even higher with the amd.

Got a stack of 20 dual socket epyc nodes i picked up at 50$/ea for when cpus get cheap for them, but only gen 2/3 supported it looks like
Any decent Gen2 getting cheap?

 

[tinfoil3d]

yeah mb are more expensive... this is a great offer otherwise. im sitting on epyc gen1/2 mb with gen2 cpu not planning to downgrade lol
if i had spare board i'd gladly roll this out to my customers

Wow, $50 for a 1u dual socket EPYC 2/3 server? How many PCI-E lanes? That's crazy low price unless you are talking about blades.

nice find! locally here?

Not blades but about same amount of pci-e slots, nodes for 2U4N systems.

They are also starting to go a bit up now i see, frequently they used to be at 50-100$ for the nodes and 100-200$ for the chassis.
Looks like just open box stuff the ones ive gotten.
