And all of that will be pretty laughable compared to the stuff AMD is releasing later this year.

  The AMD Vega II appears to be a higher-end Radeon VII except with 32GB of HBM2 (instead of 16GB like the Radeon VII). So not really. AMD VegaII Duo (the dual-Vega II) is going to be far more powerful than anything AMD releases in the near future. 64GB of HBM2, 28+ TFlops single precision, etc. etc. CPU-wise, probably. Xeon W 28-core is still quite good from Intel however, with AVX 512 support and such.

    I would think he's referring to Zen2-based Threadripper.

      Not just Threadrippers, but better EPYCs as well. More PCIe lanes, more cores, cheaper (hence higher profit margin), and the only thing you really lose is AVX512 which hardly any software besides Intel MKL makes use of anyway.

        Keep in mind EPYC are not workstation CPUs. They can be used like that, but they are not made for that. Different tradeoffs.

          Yes, lower frequency, more cores, more PCIe lanes, more throughput. Sounds good to me, as long as they use SKUs that aren't too low in frequency.
