I'm interested to hear opinions on the AMD Ryzen Zen 4 range of processors from the 7950X3D (approx GBP 640) down to the 7600 (approx GBP 200).
The context is that I've got a Supermicro AS-3015MR-H8TNR on order so eventually will be wanting 8x Zen 4 AM5 processors.
My current thinking is that I want to start with a 7950X3D for combined OpenStack and OpenHPC homelab testing. And might go for 3x 7600 to allow PXE-boot testing and eventually have a test Ceph deployment. This leaves 4x additional processors to pick after preliminary testing.
Due to the cost of DDR5 ECC UDIMM, I'm wondering if I'm better off leaning towards higher core-count parts rather than the potential false economy of going with the 7600.
