You perhaps forgot to mention that for their AMX optimizations to be even feasible you'd need to spend ~$10k for a single CPU, let alone the whole system which is probably ~$100k.

Granite Rapids-W (Workstation) is coming out soon for likely much less than half that per CPU. (Xeon W-3500/2500 launched at $609 to $5889 per CPU less than a year ago and also has AMX).

Point being? Workstations that are fresh on the market and which have comparable performance of the server counterparts still easily cost anywhere between $20k and $40k. At least this is according to Dell workstations last time I looked.

Supermicro X13SWA-TF Motherboard (16 DIMM slots with Xeon W-3500)= ~$1,000

E-ATX case = ~$300

Power Supply= ~$300

Xeon W-3500 (8 channel memory) = $1339 - $5889

Memory = $300-$500 per 64GB DDR5 RDIMM

Memory will be the major cost. The rest will be around $5,000. A lot less than "$100,000"!
