Cloudflare replacing Intel servers
It seems as if Intel’s domain is crumbling as well.
Cloudflare is replacing their servers with AMD-based
systems that have EPYC 7642 processors inside. These
are 48-core server processors clocked at 2.3GHz base.

It seems as if Intel has finally noticed that keeping
the prices for their processors artificially high for
more profit is cotraproductive especially with AMD
being in pole position even with server CPUs!
It took a while until Apple finally brought the
Mac Pro to stores. Now even the rack-mount
version is available in the Apple online store.
There’s one catch: It costs 700 dollars more…
As AMD has already announced the Ryzen
Threadripper 3990X, a 64core beast that has
a lot of power inside and will definitely change
the CPU market, Intel has a counterattack.
Well… when the sum is 60.000 Euros
(or 52.000 US$ in the USA), one would
think of an either exclusive PC with an
even more exclusive case.
It took a while for Intel to make 10nm processors ready for
shipment. Now it looks like as if the production of 10nm
chips is running stable. Intel says that it will start shipping
Ice Lake mobile processors in June now.
AMD’s next-gen EPYC processors have been revealed in
SiSoft Sandra’s benchmark tool and what is show is quite
promising: 64 cores on 8 dies with each 1.4GHz speed and
a total of 16MB L3 cache are a real number.
With AMD having shown the Threadripper 32core
monster Intel has now released information about
it’s next-generation Advanced Performance server
CPUs. Designed for dual-socket motherboards…
On PCs the RAM size is limited to 16GB per bank but yet
only 8GB are common and available. For faster RAM you
will have to take even smaller 4GB modules as the speed
takes it’s toll. But Samsung has set a new RDIMM record.
AMD and Intel are on the racetrack again. Who will
offer the fastest CPU for the fairest price out there?
It seems as if AMD is tackling Intel once more by
releasing a new beast to the public in near future…
