Can someone clarify what exactly is cut here compared to EPYC 7742 other than PCIe lines? I don't quite see really get how AMD want to avoid competing with their own product.
- wmf 7y agoThey also cut multi-socket and half the memory channels. It's only ~10% cheaper than Epyc 7702P so AMD is not hurting themselves.
- SXX 7y agoAh okay. I missed half of memory channels so it does make sense now.
- mroche 7y agoThe EYPC chips have twice the memory bandwidth as well, and allow for dual socket systems. I don't believe the enterprise security and management features are in their HEDT counterparts. Chips like these are for a specialty market, for those who are using applications and workloads that can actually take advantage of all those cores and aren't running a personal datacenter. You're not going to see this offered in any of the rack/blade systems offered by the likes of Dell, HPE, SuperMicro, Lenovo, etc where organizations are actually going to be purchasing EPYC chips.
