The original source for this was Arrow consulting. They are flat out wrong.
The minimum NEW order is 72 cores, Not 72 per CPU, but 72 cores. So if you have 3 servers with 2 sockets and 16 cores per socket (32 cores per server) that's 96 cores.
you would buy 96 cores.
If you only have 1 server is where you will need to purchase the minimum of 72 cores.
How many businesses will this impact? 1%? .1%? .00001%.
