The title pretty much sums up my question. Many of you probably remember when the Xeon E5 v1/v2 processors dumped on eBay and became powerful yet super cheap options for home servers. For at least the last year we've seen the EPYC 7001 series processors on eBay for rock bottom prices as well. Looking ahead to Zen 4 dropping in the next few weeks, how soon might we expect to see cloud providers dump their EPYC 7002 stock? Has anyone seen any trends as far as how long after a next gen processor releases and when two generation old processor become available on the second hand market?
