Quick question: Why put all of your eggs in one basket? I know you want to maximize profits, but you also want to minimize risk? For all anybody knows the next big CPU CVE could be on AMD architecture, especially as people will now being taking the processor much more seriously.
- LinuxBender 7y agoOur eggs are already all in one basket across two vendors and that did already bite us. Cost wise, it doesn't make sense to load balance across Intel and AMD. We have to pick one or spares cost are doubled and tooling has more overhead. In a few years, if Intel have their act together and AMD start having more vulns, then we may swing back the other direction. Only time and vendor actions will tell. This assumes we even move to AMD.
