AMD launches 32-core Epyc processor, looking to disrupt Intel's data center dominance

AMD's core count hasn't mattered the last decade. Why would you think it matters now. When AMD'e efficiency still doesn't match Intel's core for core.

I promise you, Intel is the one saying "32 cores, how cute".

Um, did you see the review of AMD's latest architecture? Ryzen is a bit more efficient then kaby lake and thus EPYC is as well. FYI the small difference in IPC between Intel and AMD means very little to enterprise and data center.

Usually your comments are measured but this is just plain trolling. Why can't you just be happy that AMD is finally competing again?

AMD is not a just bit more efficent, R7 1700 compsumes just a bit more than i7 7700K, if you calculates clocks per core, 8x3.00GHz (1700) is way higher than 4x4.20GHz (7700K) and just has 5% lower IPC and 10% lower core size, thats incredible, people is´nt taking account that when reviewers benches most of applications does´nt uses +4 threads (specially games) and i7 7700K runs between 4.30(up to 4 cores) and 4.50GHz (up to 2 cores) in these applications and AMD is just running up to 4.20GHz (a core per complex on R7 1800X) that is 12.5% disadvantage and more in other scenarios (taking account IPC and clocks). if AMD gets 4.50GHz Turbo in next RYZEN stepping Intel gona be pushed
 
their server division will be fine.

AMD gives cheesy names to all its processors. It's to psych up the fanbois, and hope they don't notice when the much heralded CPU fails to live up to its hype.

AMD seems to have always had, more pre-release BS than they have had product anyway.

Whaddya wanna bet Intel comes up with a 36 core server chip a couple of months after AMD releases this 32 core jobbie? Of course, the AMD crowd will claim "it's too expensive", and "AMD will get 'em next time", despite the fact that not a one of them will ever buy a server chip as long as they live.
