Yeah, EPYC CPUs kicks ass while Xeons cost an arm and a leg, so I really don't understand how Intel could be selling more server CPUs than AMD right now, unless it is due to some OEM shenanigans (like on laptops)
- magila 5y agoA lot of server customers care about more than just how good the CPU itself is. Having a reliable support ecosystem and platform continuity is an important consideration in the server market. Intel has proven for decades that they can provide these things, while AMD burned a lot of people when the Opteron line was left to rot. It's going to take time for AMD to prove itself a reliable supplier in the server market.
