[AMD] EPYC evokes a massive interest
[AMD] Naples destroys [Intel] Broadwell E5 2699A
..AMD EPYC is an enterprise, server/cloud data center product that will put an incredible lot of pressure on Intel's server roadmap. AMD offers top to bottom solutions by having eight, sixteen, twenty-four and thirty-two core products..
..Naples or EPYC 7601, in its full 32-core and 64-thread glory, is putting a lot of pressure on Broadwell E5 2699 V4 and giving up to 45 percent higher performance in the 2P Integer Specint Rate base 2006 benchmark.
The same CPU scores 75 percent higher performance in the 2P floating point score...

AMD's Zen 2 and Zen 3 7nm are in the pipe
..AMD has Zen 2 and Zen 3 in the pipeline and for the enterprise / server market, those are Rome and Milan..
AMD managed to execute and it has definitely caught Intel by surprise. A few smart and bold decisions such as 128 PCIe lanes, 8-channel DDR4 memory, big L3 cache and 32-cores are just a few things that caught Intel off guard.
Oh boy, it is a good day for the server/enterprise world as the competition is back with a vengeance...
Of course, Intel will have to compete by improving its products. So, even Intel fans and Intel data centers will benefit. Competition is good
