Isn’t competition great?

  You certainly can’t tell by the amount of people getting hyper sensitive in this thread.

    Yeah super weird why people have such visceral reactions to this. It’s beyond my post grade. Likely something to do with tribalism and do sports teams with intel being one team and amd being another

    My reaction is glee, so many years of being screwed over by Intel. Also I love rooting for the underdog!

  It's fabulous! I have a customers with slow/large databases, and now I can tell them that there is an incredibly cost-efficient hardware solution available. Sure, clever indexing schemes are often the best, but it certainly doesn't hurt to be able to throw 128 cores at a problem without having to check the organisation's credit rating. Even a single-socket AMD server with the cheaper 48-core CPU simply demolishes workloads that used to cause an eye-watering amount of money to handle.

    That’s great!
