**[WTB] AMD EPYC or multi-socket Xeon servers, 20+ units available now, 1–3 month term**

Hi all — I have roughly 100 server-months of CPU-bound simulation work to get through, and I'd like to get started as soon as possible — ideally with 20+ machines up and running in the near term. This is a short-term surge over 1–3 months rather than an ongoing commitment, though a smaller footprint may continue afterward.

Given the scale, I'd much rather work with one or two providers who can deliver real quantity quickly than assemble a few machines each from many vendors. If you have deep stock available for prompt provisioning in any shape below, I'd love to hear from you.

Preferred configurations:

  1. Single EPYC Milan (7543/7543P/7513/7453) — 64–128 GB — targeting ≤$150–170/mo
  2. Single EPYC Rome (7402P/7452/7502P) — 64 GB is plenty — targeting ≤$90–110/mo
  3. Dual-socket Rome/Milan (2× 24–32c) — 128 GB — roughly per-socket pricing vs. the above
  4. Genoa/Zen 4+ is welcome too if the per-core price is comparable

Also interested — older multi-socket Xeon with larger RAM:
E5-46xx v2 / E7-48xx v2 generation or newer (needs AVX support); single, dual, or quad socket all work for me, at 64 GB per socket or more. My software runs one worker per socket, so these older machines are genuinely useful to me even where demand for them is otherwise thin. No price target here — if you have some sitting idle, price them to move and I'm happy to take quantity.

A few notes on specs:
- My needs are modest beyond CPU and RAM: 200 Mbps connectivity is fine, actual traffic is only ~1–2 TB/month, and even a 50 GB disk suffices (larger is welcome if it's no extra cost). If a stripped-down configuration prices better, I'm all for it.
- If you can include the DIMM configuration in your offer (e.g. "64 GB as 4×16"), that's very helpful — my workload benefits from populated memory channels, so it's a detail I have to pay attention to. Very sparse layouts on many-channel platforms (e.g. 128 GB as 2×64) unfortunately don't suit the workload.
- IPMI is a plus but not required. Location is unimportant — US, EU, or APAC all work.

Terms: 1–3 months, monthly billing or term prepay — whichever works better at quantity. Card, PayPal, or USDC.

If you have something that fits, please post here or DM with the CPU model, RAM and DIMM layout if known, per-unit pricing at quantity, location, stock available now (and any additional coming soon), any setup fee, and earliest delivery for the full lot. Thanks!
