Fingers crossed on Project X getting us AMD CPUs and GPUs bootstrapped with FOSS and management engines disabled!

So you guys think somewhere a cash register is ringing and Google is already gobbling these puppies up?

You could literally run it off the lower TDP setting for a while until purchasing puts through the PO for an A/C upgrade. If the electric bill goes up as a consequence some orgs might just hold off until they have a clearer picture of financials in the next 2 quarters.
People need to get them in their hands so the tweaking for perf / thermals can begin. Michael tested with 6.0.0-060000rc3daily20220904-generic but I'm sure we'll see better perf from 6.1 onward. Exciting stuff though!

You can literally replace a rack with half a rack for the same performance meaning half the thermal output. You don't design around what you have now, you design around what performance you need and this is fast enough to lower power demands quite a lot. You can now run a 5MW DC at 3 or 4MW, that's realized carbon emissions down and cooler data centers.

Then the 5950x came out, and is much faster for certain workloads with HALF the core count, and consumes much less power. Crazy crazy times.
It's a great processor for things like data analysis, where splitting it across multiple machines slows things down and you might have limited space/want less servers.

Very strong performance from amd. And they still have the v-cache option around the corner.
Also, making a power efficiency argument in favor of intel is nothing short of entirely laughable...
"Yeah lets buy something that's far worse value and much, much slower, because it is rated at 50 watts less" said literally no one with even half a brain ever...
