    So this is AMD telling companies with small servers running Intel processors to switch to AMD for low cost, high stability and ECC support. The release in May came at the perfect time with all the crap Intel is undergoing
  • @Decenium
    AMD is basically just competing with itself
  • @insu_na
    I wish motherboard manufacturers took this opportunity to spend big on PCIe switches, to turn those 28 PCIe 5.0 lanes from the CPU into 56 PCIe 4.0 lanes. Yeah, PCIe switches are expensive as all heck, especially 5.0 ones, but PCIe lanes are exactly what I need in a server context
  • @MarioCRO
    AMD continues to make good moves...
  • @devinbaines
    I like the look of the 7900 non-x Epyc counterpart - the 65W, 12 core one - 4464P. Pretty cheap and low power but plenty of cores for a home lab scenario.
  • @MarkRose1337
    I wish they'd give us the dual v-cache chip. It really helps in some applications.
  • Crazy that nobody whatsoever makes sensible PCIe slot layouts for AM5, neither on nor workstation/server.
  • @Sintrania
    I really like that we put more emphasize on efficiency recently, would love to see more efficient CPU hit the market. Especially for home server.
  • @levix6667
    Already got a 4244P running in the homelab. Excited so far to see how it goes!
  • The CPUs are only one part. We need support for them on customer motherboards. Intel shows that if you need special motherboards to run them including ECC they are extremly expensive. A Intel i5-12500 for 194€ needs a 500€ motherboard for ECC. Nuts. I hope these Epvcs will be supported on cheaper boards......
  • @jp-ny2pd
    I've used tons of those ASRock server. Love them.
  • These AM5 Epyc's couldn't have come out at a better time with Intel CPU's in self destruction mode.
  • Got excited at first thinking this would get me away from having to do a Threadripper build, but not nearly enough PCIe lanes. Bummer.
  • @nickl6820
    Nice to see this. I used to buy used E3 Xeons to put in budget LGA1155 builds back in the day. Will have to keep my eyes open here in 2-3 years when these start hitting the used market.
  • @scooperdive
    AM5 Epyc looks very interested, i'd be interested to see how this progresses and if they keep going with it.
  • @kojack57
    For every "head scratching decision" AMD make they seem to have a nack for making you forget about it with a really cool decision albeit a tad late. I had forgotten about this announcement. But seen it work on an AM5...very tempting. I can see these selling like hotcakes.
