    lol @ all the top comments getting downvoted. this thing is cool as heck but i have no idea what i’d do with all that processing chops. which is kinda neat in itself- when i started my data analyst job there wasn’t a processor on the market that didn’t have me twiddling my thumbs, but now i do the same job on an i5 and it’s plenty.

      There are definitely things that even this machine would struggle at, but I find it funny that someone said something similar to your comment (they were asking about what workloads would tax this workstation) and then they got downvoted.

      Depends strongly on the type of data analysis.

      My employer does a form of analysis with many different algorithms on numerous subsets, and compare which one does best. It’s not always the same one that works best.

      This means that for one specific desired result, you need to do dozens of calculations, and they can be done perfectly in parallel. Doing it single-threaded takes days.

      We could easily max out a machine like this on our data files for hours or days on end just to go through the permutations, if the data isn’t carefully vetted first.

    I expected this platform to have PCIe connectivity. This should support at least 128 lanes. Feels like a waste.

      Threadripper Pro 7000 supports 128 PCIE5 lanes. I haven’t seen anything that says this Dell platform has anything less.

    That kind of power at around 300 watt is insane to me. It almost makes me miss concept of remote thin clients.
