Do I read the table on https://www.anandtech.com/show/16315/the-ampere-altra-review... incorrectly?

To me, it says they have a system with 32 CPUs at 1.7 GHz for $800, and a whole range between $2,200 and $4,050.



I think that's the processor only? I'm basing that off the paragraph after the table, which says:

> AMD’s EPYC 7742 which still comes in at $6950

A couple quick searches (Amazon, Newegg) show people selling the CPU-only for this price. Since that's the price they're comparing to the table, I think the table prices are for the ARM CPU only.


Thanks! I already found $800 cheapish, but didn’t consider it a price for just the CPU; my mind isn’t used to see server prices, it seems.
