EPYC for workstation

Well, the good deal for Milan right now is to put one into the EPYCD8 Asrock Rack board with the special BIOS. You can get one new for less than $500, used for $350-400. A lot cheaper than my ROMED8-2T board that still costs over $650. That is what I am going to put the 7v13 Milan cpu into on Tuesday. As long as 1GB LAN is sufficient and you don’t need official GEN 4 PCIE speeds, then that is great solution.

Core speeds are never going to be as high as a 16 core 5950X or 7950X when fully loaded. But on the lower count Epycs like the 7443P 24c/48t like I own, you still get 4 Ghz 2-4 core speeds and fully loaded still manage 3.6Ghz. That is not shabby. There are high speed Epycs of only 8 and 16 core that have speeds as high as 4.1Ghz
