AMD announce EPYC

[CAT-THE-FIFTH]

Damn somebody is in full panic mode apparently

Even more hilarious when Intel plonked two dual core chips in the same package to make the first Core2 quad.

Pentium D?

Btw something tells me that intel definitely won't like this result

I wonder if we could call the comment from Intel,Epyc desperation??

Gets coat\.

Pentium D?

q6600 (i think)

q6600 (i think)

Oh I got that, i was referring to the intel statement of banging multiple CPU's together.
Wasn't the pentium D exactly that? Just x2 pentium 4's?

What's interesting is that IBM has been doing the same thing as AMD for their mainframes for years, and no issues at all. IBM is still a player in that segment of the world, as niché as it is.

Clearly Microsoft, Baidu, 1&1, and more have all extensively tested Epyc against Intel's offerings for their needs in regards to performance, power usage, and stability before signing Multi-Million Dollar contracts and partnerships.

Dell EMC, HPE, Supermicro and Tyan announce AMD Epyc servers:

http://hexus.net/tech/news/cpu/107176-dell-emc-hpe-supermicro-tyan-announce-amd-epyc-servers/

So, Microsoft, Samsung, Baidu and 1&1 are in that video as is Dropbox.

They all know nothing. Intel are the ones we should be listening to

I am liking this platform more and more

"AMD’s approach of stitching together 4 desktop die in a processor is expected to lead to inconsistent performance and other deployment complexities in the data center."

I'm surprised they've gone on record saying that; surely that's libel? What evidence have they got to back up that statement?

Evidence of panic and desperation lol

I know right, nevermind it's more elegant and more efficient than 2-4-8 socket systems that have more issues and higher latency for communication between CPUs.

You should see the panic and desperation on some forums - it seems there is a genuine fear AMD might actually get some decent revenue out of it!!

I think their more *** the fact they didn't come up with the idea !

 

[humbug]

LOL Intel:

http://www.barrons.com/articles/amd-reveals-epyc-details-intel-vows-to-top-it-1497997334

We take all competitors seriously, and while AMD is trying to re-enter the server market segment, Intel continues to deliver 20+ years of uninterrupted data center innovations while maintaining broad ecosystem investments. Our Xeon CPU architecture is proven and battle tested, delivering outstanding performance on a wide range of workloads and specifically designed to maximize data center performance, capabilities, reliability, and manageability. With our next-generation Xeon Scalable processors, we expect to continue offering the highest core and system performance versus AMD. AMD’s approach of stitching together 4 desktop die in a processor is expected to lead to inconsistent performance and other deployment complexities in the data center.

With push-back lines like that, one cannot help but wonder who is teaching Intel how to look like you're not concerned.

No way they won't. Amd already got several big names on board and considering their status in server market right now, i say there is only way to go and that is up

Things are looking better for AMD these days.

Great news for the consumer.

It seems Epyc is using the B2 stepping Ryzen chip so I wonder if Threadripper is too??

Yes Threadripper will be. They cannot release the Flagship processor using the the current stepping. Basicly the rushed Ryzen release has been a massive beta test for EPYC, ThreadRipper and newer releases of Ryzen....
