That's were Keller comes in, at least on the server side. Don't know how affordable it will be, seeing as this is Intel, I'd suspect they are going for "competitive" pricing with better performance.

First there is Ryzen, then Meltdown/spectre, then 10 nm failure, then the "show" at CES with 28 cores@5 ghz.
They have already tried the dog and pony show, whats next ? I wish they would just work at getting a new/inovative affordable product out, instead of all the BS.
However, what is not off topic is that a sexual relationship between an employee and his subordinate is forbidden *whether consensual on not* is forbidden.

But right now EPYC is competitive, and even beats Intel in many benchmarks, and thats before Meltdown/spectre patches, and servers are where it hits the hardest. Not to mention, they are like 1/2 the price of the Intel competitor.That's were Keller comes in, at least on the server side.

Ryzen, even now, isn't that big of a deal to Intel. It's Epyc that's the problem.
I still haven't seen any announcements from any of the major US cloud providers about a switch to AMD processors as well. I'm sure that at least one of them will offer a AMD server line soon.
I never said consensual sex is the same as sexual assault. The point I am trying to make is that the fact that it was consensual by no means prevents it from being a very serious violation of company policy. I have worked for several companies, all of which required workplace conduct training, and one of the most strongly stressed rules for every one of them was that people in positions of authority are not allowed to have an intimate relationship with those they have influence over. Now if BK had won a big phone contract and magically saved 10 nm, would the whole thing have been covered up? Probably. But those who are saying or implying that it is nothing significant because it was consensual are just wrong.Sure, but one is against company policy and the other is a crime, possibly a felony depending on details. So again, trying to draw a parallel between the two is weird, there is no parallel.
I don't think that Epyc is going to be a real problem for Intel for the next year or so. Corporate IT purchasers are a fairly conservative bunch, and they'll be "validating" AMD's server processors for awhile before they allow them to be used for production workloads.

AMD has a big smile on its face today. Microsoft just announced that it will use AMD's Epyc server processors for its Azure cloud service, and that is big news alright.

You don't expect Microsoft to do anything quickly do you? ;-)MS announced it but the Lv2 doesn't appear to be actually available.
You must not be looking then...

Something like that. Keller is a longer term solution, setting up Intel for years to come. In the meantime, AMD does have an opportunity.With Keller... do they have 4 years to wait?
Keller is the guy who gave AMD the SCF part of the IF
The big question now is who are the candidates to replace him?
