Intel Corp (INTC)

So to all who were expecting 3.6 GHZ EPYC speeds...

The base is between 2.0 and 2.5 GHZ. Actually I think Intel is gonna be just fine in servers. Sure there are some niche areas where AMD can take some MSS but hardly the catastrophe the AMD pumpers are claiming. They will probably get better than this with Threadripper but clearly AMD has not invented the magic chip technology that can clock high count cpus better than Intel and defy physics like some have claimed. Anyone with server expertise want to comment on the specrate Int benchmarks? Clearly this is AMD benchmarketing so there is some misleading info. AMD is busy comparing last gen 22 cores to unreleased 32 core parts so Intel's next gen architecture should be A LOT more competitive. And by there own measurements, 22 core parts are a small part of the market apparently, so it is unclear to me that AMD has a home run here. Additionally, Alienware apparently has an exclusive with threadripper. Does that suggest production bottlenecks? Because if not AMD just pissed off HP, Falcon Northwest and a lot of indy game pc houses for nothing.
