Two of those would do about 275M NPS with Stockfish

But sharing ideas is an even greater virtue. We have another word for this. It is called teaching.

From this article - https://www.anandtech.com/show/14882/am ... -epyc-7h12: " One of AMD’s main partners, Atos, is set to offer an 1U solution featuring eight of these CPUs, all liquid cooled." Note that the TDP is 280W, so that is 2.25KW in a 1U case: I have no idea how they would make that work, especially not a bunch of them racked up.

I guess they must pass all that hot water (since they are liquid cooled) to a big external radiator someplace. That's the only thing that makes sense.
