They did a ton of design work during the original Opteron days when it was performance king, only to have it be wasted as AMD flubbed the next gen and circled the drain for 10 years.
Vendors are noticeably cautious this time around, but the longer AMD maintains the crown the more system integrators are starting to invest. Nobody is trying to actively harm AMD - they've just been burned once before.
- distances 5y agoTo be clear, I don't think they are trying to actively harm AMD. It sure seems like they have a better deal with Intel though, and actively try to sell those. There's few other explanations for self-sabotaging the AMD configurations they already have in the selection.
- dvfjsdhgfv 5y agoIsn't agility the key these days? I know very few people who purchase Intel these days if they have a choice. If they can't buy it from one vendor, they go to another one.
- jdsully 5y agoIntel still has 60% market share so the majority are still buying Intel, but the trend is very clear. Expect more AMD options to come out in the coming months.
