For more than a decade, Intel and AMD have consistently tried to adapt the dual-chip configuration of processors for the needs of the consumer and server segments, but the specificity of the "coexistence" of two crystals in one package negatively affected the speed and efficiency level. Now AMD claims that with the advent of the high-speed interface Infinity Fabric such problems will be solved. Recall that the server processors EPYC contain up to four eight-core chips on one substrate, and in the case of desktop processors Ryzen Threadripper such crystals will be two pieces.
In the last days of the past half-year, Wells Fargo experts said they have information that allows them to believe in the effectiveness of the Infinity Fabric interface to eliminate bottlenecks in such a multi-core processor layout. After a decade of trial and error, according to analysts, AMD managed to find the right recipe for creating low-cost processors with a large number of cores.
According to the source, AMD EPYC processors will be able to surpass the Broadwell-EP generation by the price-performance ratio, and the Skylake-EP processors coming out on July 11 will stand with them one step. AMD itself, recall, does not lose hope to reach the maximum historical share in the server processor market after the release of EPYC. These processors have already begun to flow to the partners of the company that produces servers, it remains to accumulate statistics.
