I wish I had bought more. I should have thrown my whole paycheck in.

short term, possibly a bit, long term, intel doesnt have a solid answer to 7nm epyc and wont for 3+ years
Jordan Hill
vendors don't flip on a dime when it comes to CPU support. AMD has not shown any consistency in their lifetime. epyc is not a threat outside of small places and sponsors.

Can I post if I used Intel for my main machine from Core2 through Ryzen, but kept up with AMD for all my side rigs (purchased AM2+, FM1, FM2 and FM2+ boards) My little fileserver is a 7850K
Grayson Long
Got in at $10ish and bought more at $11. Comfy

i bought amd at 17 euro and stmicroelectronics at 18,6
EPYC is strong in general purpose; it'll crush in HPC due to its very high integer and reasonable FPU performance; virtualization, cloud, and datacenter is better due to high memory bandwidth and higher I/O count. There's only specific areas where EPYC is less enticing such as in memory databases and AVX applications. With the ongoing security concerns, it's kind of the perfect time to put EPYC against Xeon. Smaller companies may be less enticed to migrate due to lack of time-tested hardware but overall it will be a huge win as it's not costly for AMD to make at all.
