AMD 96 core CPU
What do you think about this new cpu announced by AMD?
During the AMD data center & AI technology premiere, AMD CEO Dr. Lisa Su announced a multitude of different AI-related hardware and software that AMD has been working on. One of the most impressive of which is the new AMD Genoa-X CPU with over 1GB of L3 cache! AMD announces 96 Core CPU with over 1GB of cache

(my $AMD stock is down almost) $7 (a share)
Great efficiency there...
1GB of L3 cache. Can it be used to boot os?
Baseclock of 2,4Ghz is quite good considering how many cores it has
Yeah, with all core boost up 3.55Ghz.
The "Bergamo"
It's always a compromise between many cores or fewer cores with higher frequency.
If you actually need that many cores this chip must be a beast.
microsoft will buy in big?
that'd be:
1. damn fast if someone gets it to work
2. very weird as how tf will the cpu interact

Amazon has been questioning it.
Intel needs to get its act together. AMD is comfortably increasing its market share. We need competition, or else AMD will become the next Intel.
Always loving these beastly systems. It's great when customers order them. We toyed around with the idea on using some for some crazy VM nodes.
Intel has components with very good value
It’s not even glose to how Intel & AMD was before
i5-13500
i9-13900
Before, Intel had like 4790K
And AMD had Opteron …
in my honest opinion it would be better off to compare a 4790K to a FX9590. The 4790K was a great processor, the FX9590 was a great space heater.
I had an FX 8350 for like 6 years. Awesome CPU, could definitely heat a room tho.
There is no doubt about that. Problem is Intel's production capabilities which are lagging behind TSMC by a huge margin. It does not matter if you have the best cpu if you cannot deliver it in large quantities. AMD is able to deliver lot more in the server market. Server market is the bread and butter for these companies.
The bread and butter is graphics cards, Nvidia to be specific.
What will be the main Usage for this CPU?
Wondering what would be the pricing
Servers, streaming services or just to be splitted in lots of VPSes
I though about this and the most common high CPU usage task I know about in companies big enough to need this is databases
But they wouldn’t scale very well across cores like this (at least not MySQL & MariaDB) I don’t think, and even then, I think smaller host nodes in a cluster probably makes more sense
So I guess I came to the conclusion that most probably we’re talking virtualization
But then it kind of has to maintain good value, because for most virtualization situations, having one server with 96 cores might be nice, but might not be worth paying a lot more for compared to 2 48 core servers or 4 24 core servers. At this price point I’d imagine (with exceptione of course) that saving a few U’s isn’t very important
Obviously it is if you got a datacenter with physically limited space
idling.
Like every low-ender
AI. This isn't intended for web hosting, per se.
when we are speaking of Virtualization there are bottlenecks to be considered so just CPU power will not be the factor.
