All kind of datacenters must be foaming from excitement after the recent years cpu developements.
Is this even possible?

At this point it's just amd waving their collective dick, price doesn't matter that much

We are at the point where Intel just doesn’t have the engineering to compete. The only reason they aren’t bankrupt is because intel is deeply embedded in the military industrial surveillance state.

not while browsing Jow Forums. also "1GW" would okay considering intels CPUs would draw a lot more power for the same performance.

Running a butt-fuck ton of VMs.
Job recently jumped on the EPYC CPU train with a remote-server specifically so we could turn 4 individual servers, into 1, that still has all the same capability and more that the old 4 did. Everyone still gets 4-dedicated cores per instance, and the IPC is probably higher, so they're getting a minor speed bump, aside from the new SSD array being faster, too.
From a personal user standpoint, I'd still say this is fucking grand for that. I could imagine that some power-dev who wants to try to run VMs with multiple different builds of their software could really flex this. Spool up more machines with identical resources, automate and test more builds at once. Or a QA tester could do similar. Or an MMO gold miner/farmer could do more with less, too. Script up their actions, and run more instances of the same game, different accounts.

Lots of computer graphics stuff. Rendering is the most well known because it can be packaged into a tool like Cinebench.

First off it always depends on the software.
So i guess music/video/art production.
More scientific workloads.
Software Development.
In some cases it could even help in. A space shuttle but i dont know what kind of components they usually use there.

They use ones that are few years old at least, since everything that gets launched into space needs to undergo such rigorous testing that you wouldn't believe. Like cameras that were attached to the latest Mars rover. At the time of the launch much better ones were available, but they wouldn't have time to test them.
