Discussion Zen 5 Speculation (EPYC Turin and Strix Point/Granite Ridge - Ryzen 9000)

[DisEnchantment]

Speculate at will

 

[Hans Gruber]

Intel deal with Dell, and also with HP, date from the Opteron 64, and even before, that long predate the FX era, Intel made all they can to keep AMD from entering the server market, HP aknowldged that they refused 200k free Opteron 64 from AMD to initiate manufacturing because of fear of Intel s coercition.

I realize there was a lot of shady stuff going on for a long time. AMD was the first to 1ghz. AMD created the first 64bit CPU. AMD had the first native dual core CPU around 2005. The tables really started turning in favor of AMD around 2002 with Athlon XP. 32bit processors had security issues and Intel believed 64 bit CPU's was unnecessary.

My first of many AMD CPU's was the AthlonXP 1800+. I upgraded to the Barton 2500+ and then the x2 3800. I had an Abit motherboard to start and then Nforce 2, Nforce 3 and I think one Nforce4 chipset boards. Those were the best boards. I had RAID O arrays to be first loading in online games. The only people who beat me loading games were using PCI-E cards. I ran RAID O gaming drives with SSD's as well.
