AMD announce EPYC

[Journey]

You really cant argue with that. I'm loving the selection to be honest. I mean I'm replacing 3x 24 thread systems 2x 6c/12t xeons with 192gb of memory each and I'm running out of resources so I'm thinking hopefully there is a 32/64 chip or bigger in there that with the required memory, plus other kit I'll need all comes in at less than something like 80k. Let's see what the pricing looks like. The last server I bought (a g9 again stacked with 2tb local storage) was something like 10k so fingers crossed these arent stupid and I've budgeted enough.

Well at least DRAM prices on on your side presently, do you spec RAM per core? I doubt the prices will be stupid, but again all depends on if HP try to fleece you elsewhere in the system, if you are going 1P then it should keep the price down quite a bit.

Oh they are in part number order, not core count or anything sensible like that.

Is this more useful?

Pfft.. don't go arranging things like that, it looks far too neat and tidy.

We just pumped 140k into some Intel servers, I had a right go at my boss and then the financial controller and purchasing manager for letting him waste money.

We are fully VMWare and he was paranoid that Intel and AMD don't play nice together in the same estate, which is something that's been sorted now. We just wasted so much cash on servers that will be patched with all the latest security stuff thus reducing their performance, when we could ordered some Epyc for a lot less cash and more performance.

With license models how they are now there's even more cash to be saved

I'm wondering whether they will add a 7371 replacement, that is a 200w part with 3.1GHz base, 3.6GHz all-core or 3.8GHz 8-core boost. I'd hope they can do 3.3GHz, with a 4.0GHz all-core, and 4.2GHz 8-core for the same power.

What's new you ask? The all important clock speeds which were missing before. If any one has an Anandtech account, can you please post a link in this https://forums.anandtech.com/threads/64-core-epyc-rome-（zen2）architecture-overview？.2554453/page-33 thread please?

Oh they are in part number order, not core count or anything sensible like that.

Are these base clocks or max boost clocks? Considering the older 7551P boosted to 3.0 GHz and the 7502P is listed as 3.35 GHz, I assume they are max boost clocks. I find it hard to believe the base clock has jumped from 2.0 to 3.35 GHz in the same TDP envelope, but maybe I'm wrong...

 

[Journey]

They will be boost clocks for the most part, although some may have a similar XFR style feature.

 

[Armageus]

I'm wondering whether they will add a 7371 replacement, that is a 200w part with 3.1GHz base, 3.6GHz all-core or 3.8GHz 8-core boost. I'd hope they can do 3.3GHz, with a 4.0GHz all-core, and 4.2GHz 8-core for the same power.

I'd be all over a high clock speed part - spent the last 2 weeks debating whether to buy a couple of DL385 G10's with the 7371.

I know I'm in the minority, but some of us still need more clock speed not moar cores!


Currently running E5-2690 v1's and could do with some more single thread performance

 

[SupraWez]

A little birdy told me recently that you can now vmotion Intel to amd so we shall see if that's true or not.

Oh really, when did that become possible as was a main reason for sticking with Intel sadly.

At least Intel's supply chain problems are going to ease up pretty dramatically in the next 1-6 months, giving up market share to ease capacity problems is such a smart plan

Just an FYI AMD's EPYC Horizon is currently live if anyone is interested.

This was just immense, it really couldn't have been any better. Utter domination!
