Comment on Intel’s Xeon Platinum 8284 CPU: When 300 MHz Cost $5,500parent

It’s similar to why you used buy RISC vs Intel. Sometimes decisions like this are driven by by software licensing. $10-20k on a server may offset $200k in Oracle.

If you look at a longer time horizon, there are other dynamics. Your contract may not allow you to reduce license spend in three years, but you can shrink your hardware spend.
