If you or somebody you know is looking to make a server purchase any time in the future, ServeTheHome is telling us that Intel is going as far as matching prices on quoted EPYC CPUs from AMD. Obviously, you will be needed to build out your own infrastructure on these purchases, so the impact to the market should be fairly small. And that said, depending on the server system you are building, the price of the CPU might not be much in the overall build cost. What all of this shows is that Intel is certainly feeling the AMD heat in the marketplace.
From what we have been hearing from a number of customers, discounts are happening at quantity levels *well* below 1000 CPUs. Discounts or incentives are reaching well into the double-digit percentages. For some customers, if they are evaluating an AMD EPYC purchase versus a competitive Intel Xeon part, Intel is more or less matching the price.
