While I am sure this isn't LITERALLY true, there is some truth to it. I work at a smallish company, who bought 3 new Intel servers about 5 months before Epyc servers started to be available from OEM's. We plan on adding another server to our stack next year, I would LOVE to go with Epyc, but I am locked into Intel at this point (until we decided to replace the entire stack). VMWare doesn't allow you to mix CPU architecture and maintain HA. So, we stuck buying a crappy Intel Xeon instead.
- ksec 8y agoJudging from the Server shipment and market share this is exactly what is happening. But to be fair, many fought for EPYC, but those who made the decisions, CEO / CFO / CIO / Purchasing Director etc are all well connected with Intel.
