AMD+Nvidia is a very powerful combination...

Nvidia already announced this a while back. I guess AMD was waiting for a slow news day to have something to tell.

That's $14,000 from $200,000 the machine that everyone wants going to AMD. Minus any discount given to Nvidia.

Not that I really care but isn't 128 cores overkill for a GPGPU server? CPUs don't tend to work very hard if the GPUs are crunching big numbers. You don't gain any usable PCIe lanes when adding a 2nd socket. But, Nvidia must know what they're doing - the price premium going from single socket to dual socket EPYC is hefty (though amusingly, still super cheap compared to Intel).

For a moment, I took "integrated" word seriously there. And I was thinking if there is some chip that uses nVidia's IP in form of nV-Link.

It probably is a bit of overkill but DGX systems are intended for containerized usage, for the most part, where many users are running lots of different jobs on them. A dual-CPU system with these processors could support a LOT of users and that's what they are intended for. This is THE ideal machine for GPU computing as a service on a large scale.
