I'm sure you know better than the entirety of AMD's engineering, marketing and sales departments. If only they could act on this amazing wisdom you have for them?!
With regards to servers, not all companies go out and buy new server hardware every year so growing the share will naturally take time. Also if other businesses are anything like the one i work for it takes a while to convince the key people that they should move away from Intel when they've been on Intel forever. No IT department wants to be responsible for breaking apps and things by moving them to new processors/hardware unless they are sure it will be seamless. Of course cost comes into it and cheaper is always a good bargaining chip but architecture moves are rarely straight forward.
@Vince were in the same boat as above.
Our onsite Server base is entirely VMWare, we just looked at AMD as we are about to replace aload of Hosts but the one thing stopping us, and it is a game stopper for us, is you cannot mix Intel and AND hosts and do live failovers or migration between the two, they have to be done offline.
My boss just will not take the risk, plus Dell are just not interested in selling AMD severs to anyone.
Im hoping we look at other options soon, ie HP or Lenovo for client and server, and i will continuously raise the issue if us being rinsed on cost and performance by keep using Intel.
Anyhow where are the new Navi leaks?? Moaaaar!
