Even half price is an insult when starting from quadruple the price per core. And that's assuming those customer would pay 100% of the AMD list price. The really big customers get custom SKUs at reasonable prices already, but for the rest not budging on the prices this year is basically a slap in the face, especially if they're just doing it to wait out EPYC2 evaluations and drop the prices next year.
