AMD EPYC 7000 Series Processor Set To Change The Game

When AMD first dreamed up the Zen core architecture they did it to disrupt the datacenter platforms and they new they needed a 32-core processor to do that. AMD came up with a new architecture from the ground up and that would be AMDs new EPYC server chip (previously codenamed Naples). AMD EPYC hopes to chisel some market share away from Intel, who currently has 99% of this market. Read on to see what EPYC will deliver!

AMD reveals EPYC 7000 server CPUs, up to 32 Zen cores

The AMD EPYC 7000 series processors will offer up to 32 "Zen" cores, which were designed to fit into this space. Each processor will have eight DDR4 channels, support for a whopping 2TB of memory, 128 PCI-E lanes, a dedicated security subsystem, and there will be no chipset outside of the CPU. The motherboard socket will also be compatible with the next generation of EPYC processors, in the hope that more vendors will jump on board.

AMD Unveils EPYC 7000 Series Processors And Platform To Take On Intel In the Data Center

Today marks the launch of AMD's EPYC family of processors for data center servers. Based on the company's Zen microarchitecture, it has become abundantly clear that AMD was targeting the lucrative data center market first and foremost with its new CPU architecture and the highly scalable Naples platform that leverages it. Of course Zen scales well for client/consumer desktop applications, as we've seen with AMD's successful Ryzen processor launch. However, the data center is near and dear to the AMD's heart, due to significantly higher chip pricing and better profit margins; not to mention the explosion of the cloud, from software as a service-built platforms like Amazon AWS, to AI, and big data analytics.

Today, AMD is giving us a detailed picture of how its Zen-based EPYC processor lineup will flesh-out...

AMD's Future in Servers: New 7000-Series CPUs Launched and EPYC Analysis

The big news out of AMD was the launch of Zen, the new high-performance core that is designed to underpin the product roadmap for the next few generations of products. To much fanfare, AMD launched consumer level parts based on Zen, called Ryzen, earlier this year. There was a lot of discussion in the consumer space about these parts and the competitiveness, and despite the column inches dedicated to it, Ryzen wasn’t designed to be the big story this year. That was left to their server generation of products, which are designed to take a sizeable market share and reinvigorate AMD’s bottom line on the finance sheet. A few weeks ago AMD announced the naming of the new line of enterprise-class processors, called EPYC, and today marks the official launch with configurations up to 32 cores and 64 threads per processor. We also got an insight into several features of the design, including the AMD Infinity Fabric.

MSI X299 Gaming Pro Carbon AC Motherboard Review

MSI's Gaming Pro Carbon AC is first to hit the X299 test bench. Following closely on all the post Computex hype, is this board truly retail ready?

Intel’s new X299 platform replicates what we’ve seen in its mainstream desktop advancements over the past two years, and the most amazing part of that is the age of the X99 it replaces. HEDT (High-End Desktop) users had to wait all this time for a faster DMI interface to connect various devices through the chipset to the CPU, while suffering with an old one that limited all 10 of their SATA SSDs and any attached network and USB controllers to a combined total of 20Gb/s. At 32Gb/s, even the latest iteration of Thunderbolt was too fast for the X99. So, what does all of this newfangled, mainstream tech add to the high end?

Reolink RLC-411WS Wireless Security Camera Review

The RLC-411WS from Reolink is a great little camera. When I first got it, I was anxious to get this review posted, but I decided to spend some time with the camera and get to know it, and I can say that I am not disappointed. It is affordable and does everything that I needed a security camera to do. Now I can see what is going on whenever I want, day or night. Since this camera uses software for motion detection, there can be many factors that drive how well this feature works, including the mounting location and exposure to weather. For example, if you use the camera outside, then weather events like rain or snow can trigger false alarms. Tree shadows, car headlights, and even an occasional spider or insect can trigger false alarms, and this is to be expected. I had to spend some time making adjustment to the sensitivity and motion detection areas to find the balance between picking up human or animal motion and ignoring other natural events. And as the seasons change, you may need to make some tweaks. However, if you use the camera inside a building, then you won't have to deal with weather or tree motion.
