The core density is bullshit when each core is so slow that it can't do any meaningful work. The reality is that Intel is 3 times behind AMD/TSMC on performance vs power consumption ratio.
People would be better off having a look at the high frequency models (9xx5F models like the 9575F), that was the first generation of CPU server to reach ~5 GHz and sustain it on 32+ cores.
Intel seem to be deliberately hiding the clock frequency of this thing, the xeon-6-plus-product-deck.pdf has no mention of clock frequency or how LLC is shared.
