That doubling of price makes absolutely no sense, if it's true (which sounds too bizarre to be). Cascade Lake (X & AP) will compete against the Zen 2 based Epyc CPUs, which sport up to 64 cores. And Intel is going to sell 28-core CPUs for ~$20,000? Do they actually want to cause a massive switch to AMD in the server market? Perhaps that retailer sells a pair of 8280L for that much, though it is not specified.

Even after all that time the metallic naming for enterprise hardware sounds weird.BigMamaInHouse - Saturday, February 23, 2019 - link

In other words, Intel has absolutely no response to Epyc, and especially not Epyc 2.Elquin - Tuesday, July 16, 2019 - link
Is there any comparison in Cascade vs Skylake. An example is what Cascade CPU would replace the Skylake 8158?
