What do you guys think about Dell AMD EPYC based servers?

We've used Tyan based Epyc servers at work since July, does that count? With U.2 NVMe disks they are quite beastly.

It's AMD so it works. What type of workloads do you use it for?

A mix of VMs and containers running mostly Java loads.

Still waiting for Zen2 before deciding.

Yes, I'm hoping Zen 2 will step on Intel's toes, lol.

"Because of the EPYC series' strong price/performance ratio and AMD's plan of releasing its next-generation 7nm datacenter processors codenamed Rome later in 2019, demand for the AMD-based servers has been rising. "
