It sure is but at the cost of water cooling instead of passive air cooling and that H as opposed to only numbers in that naming must be some sort of shorthand for High Performance Computing. And water cooling is nice for single Graphics Workstation usage as well if just to keep the fan noise to a minimum.

I’m still waiting for Apple to switch that new Mac Pro 2019 edition from Xeon to Epyc(Maybe By Zen-3 Epyc/Milan) and for there to be that Frontier like Zen-3 based Epyc/Milan(Custom Variant) with Infinity Fabric Interfacing between the CPU and GPUs(4 per processor) instead of only PICe 3/4, and that option available to a wider market than just supercomputers. That’s competition against Power9/Power10 and Nvidia’s NVLink interfaced GPU accelerator products from that Epyc/Milan(custom variant) and on Frontier. But those sorts of government sponsored contracts do see that IP getting out and used in the wider market as well.

And that’s a higher base clock than the 7742 but at a lower achievable boost clock but it’s that achievable all core clock rate that really gets the work done for HPC workloads and not some abstract limited cores boost clock numbers that have more meaning in the consumer space than for HPC.

Maybe they can run some HWRF models as well as there’s been more Hurricane activity as we move past the peak(Sept 10th) of the Atlantic hurricane season this year and some crazy bad experiences for some islands over the past 3 or 4 hurricane seasons.
