Cloudflare's new Gen X servers proudly feature 'AMD inside'
Summary
Since the pendulum of technology leadership swings back and forth between providers, we wouldn’t be surprised if that changes over time. If AMDs latest x86 market share numbers are anything to go by, the company continues to claw away server customers from Intel, but it still has a long way to go. Cloudflare is deploying new servers using the Epyc 7642, carved from AMDs latest 2nd-gen Rome silicon. For Gen X, Cloudflare will be using the Epyc 7642 in a single-socket configuration, and notes that the chip still outperforms the pair of Xeons. Additionally, Cloudflare says that while AMD currently offers the 64C/128T Epyc 7742, the performance gains across its software stack and compute workloads werent quite compelling enough.
