Epyc, just launched for Datacentre, this is Naples. :)

Research paper showing hte benefits of EPYC single socket soluiton. - http://www.amd.com/system/files/2017-05/TIRIAS-AMD-Single-Socket-Server.pdf

EPYC Features
  • A highly scalable, 32-core System-on-a-chip (SoC) design, with support for two high-performance threads per core
  • Industry-leading memory bandwidth, with 8 channels of memory per EPYC device3. In a dual-socket server, support for up to 32 DIMMS of DDR4 on 16 memory channels, delivering up to 4 terabytes of total memory capacity
  • Complete SoC with fully integrated, high-speed I/O supporting 128 lanes of PCIe® 3, negating the need for a separate chip-set
  • Highly-optimized cache structure for high-performance, energy-efficient computing
  • Infinity Fabric coherent interconnect for two EPYC CPUs in a dual-socket system
  • Dedicated security hardware
“Today’s single-socket server offerings push buyers toward purchasing a more expensive two-socket server just to get the memory bandwidth and I/O they need to support the compute performance of the cores,” said Matthew Eastwood, senior vice president, IDC. “There are no fully-featured, high-performance server processors available today in a single-socket configuration. EPYC changes that dynamic by offering a single-processor solution that delivers the right-sized number of high-performance cores, memory, and I/O for today’s workloads.”

EPYC!

Their single socket just beat Intel dual socket in performance and memory bandwidth!

AMD are on course to cause a serious shift in the enterprise space with this, it looks immense and that 8-channel memory, blooming heck. Welcome back AMD!
 
The name doesn't do much for me, but can anyone tell me why knights landing is any better by name? I thought that was meh and just as bad.
