According to http://www.hothardware.com/hh_files/CCAM/a64fx_51_launch.shtml, the
3.2EE would be faster.

The 3.2EE CPU seems to be a little more expensive though.  For reasons I have
*no* idea.

3.2 CPU is ~$400, while the 3.2EE CPU is ~$1,000.  And I believe the only
difference is an extra 1MB cache.
