The Verdict
The Gen10 is the rational buy for almost every budget-driven deployment — the price gap buys a lot of extra Gen10 capacity. The Gen11 makes sense only when DDR5 bandwidth, PCIe 5.0 accelerators, or maximum-length support runway are hard requirements. Sellers of Gen11 units are still early in the curve and should expect strong, stable pricing.
