Sourcing and disambiguation notes
Exact EPYC 7002 SKU not stated by source (only "32-core Rome"); TDP left null rather than guessed. 173 GB/s bandwidth is stated directly by the source (author "adman-c"), not computed. 2026-08 used build-total ($1,950): Rome-generation EPYC has no meaningful new-retail channel left. Priced as a representative 32-core Rome part (EPYC 7502): CPU used ~$150-240 depending on locked/unlocked, SP3 board Supermicro H11SSL-I used ~$510, 8x32GB DDR4-3200 ECC RDIMM used ~$160 each = $1,280. Substitute any similarly-priced 32-core Rome SKU (7502/7452/7452P) -- used Rome CPU pricing is a commodity, all within ~$100-250, so this total is fairly robust despite the SKU ambiguity noted above.

Measurements
Decode is token generation — the speed you feel while an answer streams. Prefill is prompt processing — the wait before it starts. Why bandwidth predicts decode speed.
