Capacity × bandwidth

Undominated configurations

Price is not part of this frontier calculation.

These are undominated on usable capacity and peak bandwidth. Everything else in this category is beaten on both by one of them.

Pairwise audit

What dominates each remaining config

A named frontier config has at least as much usable memory and peak bandwidth.

Price coverage

No value ranking

18 of 30 configurations in this category have a sourced price.

Configurations without a sourced price stay in the table with price marked unknown. A value ranking would not be supported by the current price coverage. The price-aware Pareto calculation includes 13 configurations with sourced prices.
