> So the real question is whether 1 Oxide rack can outcompete 2 or 3 racks of normal commodity hardware.

Given their management plane/API:

* https://docs.oxide.computer/api/guides/responses

the performance may be about the same, and CapEx as well (or maybe a little higher), but OpEx could be where you make it up in large(r)-scale operations.

And space efficiency is also not to be sneezed at: for some operations DCs/compute can be place anywhere because latency is that big of a deal, but in other places you need to be close to certain things (trading), and real estate can get expensive.
