Intel slipped this out a few weeks ago, haven't seen it on here so I thought I would share it with anybody here who follows the data center side of things.

the max cpu comes in 3 configs: hbm only, hbm + DDR in flat memory model (2 memory regions), hbm + DDR cached (hbm acts as cache).
The GPU comes in PCIe 300W card, OAM 450W, or OAM 600W.

The 600W card has 128GB HBM.

Now I gotta ask Dell what sort of numbers they can get me, Nvidia's grid licensing is ball-bustlingly expensive, and maybe the Intel solutions for VMWare could be a little more friendly.
But a dual-socket HBM version with a pair of the OAM 450w would make for a very nice addition to my stack.
