> WA ran dual xeon 2690 servers before the move to FB infra; facebook had better economics with smaller single Xeon D nodes; I dunno what makes sense today, maybe a single socket Epyc?
that cpu is 8c/16t [1] ... having two of them in a system would mean 16c/32t.
AMD recently launched a 192c/384t monster cpu [2], and having two of them would mean having 384c/768t.
So most likely a 100 nodes-clusters today, powered by those amd cpus would give you the same core count of a 1200-node cluster at the time.
