That's impossible for one of many reasons:
>hosting
Hosting what? Websites? VPS? VPC? Depending on what he's hosting, he's probably still using an Intel Xeon until all of the clients on the server is ready to be migrated.
>considering that due to sheer cost hy performance
What the fuck are you even talking about? Xeons have better TCO for very high bandwidth interconnects and latency sensitive clusters, and EPYC has better TCO for memory-intensive and mass scaling. There is no absolute cost-to-performance metric here, if you were legitimately telling the truth you'd be more specific.
> AMD is murdering Intel in data centers
Still hasn't happened because the downtime needed to take Xeon servers offline and replace them with EPYC is far more than live migrating older Xeons to newer Xeons. And what type of data center, you fucking mong?
>You'd be an idiot, out of money or sponsored by Intel to use intel right now
See what I just said. The financial impact and operation cost of downtime is one of the biggest reasons why Xeons are still being purchased 9 times out of 10 for existing enterprise solutions. It won't matter how much better EPYC is compared to Xeon, if the cost of downtime and restoring services is ten to a hundred times the cost of those machines over their 5 year lifecycle.

There's no Epyc on Zen+ so they have more of supply of dies so the price is lower. Zen2 will be split between Ryzen 3xxx, TR3, and Epyc2 so the price will be higher.
Jack Cook
zen2 will also be smaller dies so better yields again.

Let's not shoot ourselves on the dick, EPYC is still equally vulnerable to the newer versions of Spectre as Xeons.

i REALLY wanted to wait for 7nm cpu's from AMD, their only releasing a 32 core server cpu this year, and by the time release comes in feburary, price settle down in august - i would have waited a year for the next gen cpus
going to buy a Ryzen 2700x literally in an hour for my build, its going to last me until 2022 when the 5nm cpus / nano carbon cpus start being talked about
Wish i bought AMD stock 2 years ago, but who invests in a company that looks like its dying on paper , oh how things have changed :)

You don't even know what you are talking about.

>AMD: 32 core for 1800 bucks (no hardware vulnerabilities) that doesn't require of you to change socket/motherboard every time and drops/cuts prices massively after 6~8 months after initial launch
>Intel: 18 core for 2000 bucks (17 hardware vulnerabilities AND COUNTING), 14nm++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++, requires to change socket/motherboard completely every fucking time, an atomic holocaust oven, RF ID, no Hyper Threading, false/fake TDP, anti-competitive dirty-handed kikery practices, OverClocks high only on first 2 cores while downclocking massively on the rest (Zen doesn't get super-inflated useless 5GHz clocks, but it's 4+ GHz OverClocking is stable across ALL cores/threads), NEVER EVER drops prices any
