So I am trying to find a sales/contact within AMD. I want to do a POC with a dual EPYC based system for 64 cores and 128 threads for a task specific build, then once that testing is done use the same for testing as a VM host.
In doing my research on Dell's site the price per server would be 8 grand cheaper to go with a EPYC solution, but price isn't our only concern.
My company right now is died in the wool Intel, but if these EPYC CPU's are up to par and CRAZY stable for long periods of time then we might be able to see a shift in our actual data centers. Especially if it saves on cost/power/manpower to maintain.
Would love to talk with someone from AMD about this.
And would love to hear any success or failure stories from anyone else that has done a EPYC based server POC. (Proof of concept.)
Thanks!
