From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The processors in these were 4-core AMD EPYC Rome CPU.

Surely they meant 48 core?

There are 4 core romes, no idea why anyone would buy one (think they keep most of the ddr and pcie links) but still.

4 core Milan.

That was my deleted comment, but then I realized the article specifies they are Rome CPUs (Zen 2), while the 4000 series of EPYCs is based on Zen 4

I was wondering about that too. At first I assumed they were only allocated a few of the cores for their testing, but a typo seems more likely.
