"we’d be laughing at them just like we did for the bulldozer architecture"
I remember buying the Phenom II X6 1100T day one (December 2010) because we were all waiting for AMD to rise like a phoenix and dethrone Intel's incredible Core series chips
10 months later (October 2011) Bulldozer finally launched, before crashing and burning on the launch pad almost immediately
It was a hard time being an AMD fan a decade ago :(
- rincebrain 5y agoHey, I too bought an 1100T before Bulldozer launched, and it gave me many years of great service. Unfortunately, I needed to replace that server before Zen showed up, so the next iteration was (and is) an Intel chip. (Slightly tempted to upgrade it again ~soon, but not impressed by Intel's current "lower-power" Xeon designs, AMD's Epyc Embedded last had an iteration in Zen 1 and according to leaks won't see a new one until 2023(!) and Zen 4, and AArch64 is not bad but I haven't seen anyone selling a server board that was in the right spot between size/power/performance/price yet...)
