AMD EPYC 7000 Series Specs and Performance Leaked

[Emission]

By the interconnect ability and bandwidth. Just as seen on Ryzen between CCXes. Now scale up, take a 2S system with 8 dies in total. Each die got 2 GMI links and tell me how many hops and shared bandwidth links you need instead of direct.

I could be wrong, but it sounds like you're oversimplifying the complexity of the implementation, especially considering how we don't have much data to go on yet about real world performance.

VMWare always lags new hardware by months.

But yes AMD did a bad job of getting partners ready for Ryzen/Epyc too. Things are however coming together well now.

Until VMWare fixes all their Zen problems, these massive core/lane counts mean nothing.

It is astounding to me how badly AMD supported their partners in this launch.

How else would they have caught intel with its pants down?

Nah not astounding.. I am sure everyone said, meh AMD lets wait and see if the chips are any good... In fairness that would be the smart thing to do.
