AMD : We Outperform Intel by 400%+ Per Dollar With Zen 2 Powered EPYC CPUs

Fortunately [AMD has] the data to back it all up

2nd generation 32 core EPYC delivers no less than 5.6X the performance per dollar versus Intel's highest core count and fastest Platinum Xeon processors. That's 460% the performance per dollar

Intel is in effect admitting to [AMDs lead] by reducing the launch prices of its next generation Cascade Lake-X lineup in half compared to their predecessors. This is in effect a price-cut before the products even hit the shelves and it's simply a must to compete with AMD's disruptive price structure.

[AMD is] delivering double the core count per socket and thus essentially double the throughput in the same amount of physical space, an enormous advantage in servers where every square inch counts.

it's only a matter of time before the sleeping giant in Intel wakes up, and when that happens the CPU wars will go absolutely nuclear, to everyone's benefit.
