NMWare cashing in on high core count CPU's.
They changed the model from charging per CPU to limiting that to 32 cores and needing another licence for CPU above 32 cores, so for a 64 core EPYC you would now need two licences.
Basically AMD are charging for a 64 core what Intel are charging for a 28 core to gain market share and VMWare have decided they would cash in on that difference.
This IS a problem for AMD because the value in going for the 64 core over the 28 core is swallowed up by NMWares profiteering.
