No, they aren't.
Depends on the person. I'd definitely pay more for AMD Epyc gen3 vs gen2 vs gen1. Especially in light of the performance hit older generations have for RetBleed speculative execution attack mitigation overhead which can be as bad as a >50% hit in some workloads.
This is LET. You're in the 0.01% that properly benchmarks your servers for use case.
Find the processor with the best yabs score
(this is a joke)
Empty node or a fully loaded one?
i would mean it seriously
If it provides a much higher performance it is, for the customers who need it, worth it. You could also give your customers the choice: regular performance 2.x GHz AMD EPYC/Intel Xeon and high performance for a price which is a bit higher.
Since a short while we are using Supermicro servers with an AMD EPYC 7443P CPU (in each server) for our VPS platform and the CPU performance is insane (on a VPS with 8 GB RAM / 4 vCPU).
That is a good idea too, to give customers a choice.
