Epyc is a silly name to be fair.


Huh, AMD has a history of similar names - Phenom, Bulldozer, FX, Opteron... Athlon, Sempron...

Intel's Xeon is very weird, too.

They give back some of what they are about to take in the GPU market , it's called philanthropy :roll::roll::roll:

You do know that the T.A.M. on the x86 market is larger, by many, many magnitudes, that the dGPU T.A.M., right?

Is there any rumor or news piece that tell us next year Xeon having PCIe gen 4 ? RKL is having that but what about the Xeon ?
The newly announced W-1200 range is still PCI-e 3

For me, asking that question, even if just for the chuckles, became pointless after Linus from LinusTechTips ran Crysis to the point of being somewhat playable using only an Epyc processor through software rendering.

EDIT: Also, this is just PR, but I still get a laugh out of this:

To be fair one of the reason for going with AMD is probably that they want to give absolutely nothing to Intel in terms of market share. Remember, their biggest competitor right now is Intel, up until now they had no choice but to deal with them. No more I guess.

I think this is a valid reason, and with another giant also trying to squeeze its way into Nvidia's territory, it is perhaps wiser to give business to the smaller one (AMD). I feel cost vs performance could be the otjer moltivation for the move.
