The embedded designation is not about the socket, it has to do with intended use in industrial applications, it's about low failure rate and comes with long term support.
What's the target customer for this box? I can understand wanting compute near your storage, but I don't understand wanting as little as one 16-core Epyc per 1.4 petabytes - what do they gain from using something that minimal rather than a dual-64-core?
I guess a small Epyc is probably the cheapest source of enough PCIe lanes to drive 84*12Gb/s, but then you don't sell it as a compute solution.

It's a socketed CPU, not embedded. Just the single socket SKU.geekinasuit - Tuesday, December 14, 2021 - link

> I don't understand wanting as little as one 16-core Epyc per 1.4 petabytesMaybe some databases that charge a per-core license fee?
Otherwise, I'd say this is simply designed to run a customer-managed storage stack. It's enough compute power for that.
