Well, one of the demos was of the coming Microsoft Virtual PC platform, which is a server instance for a virtualized desktop.
Because I use and review a large number of PCs, there is seldom a month that goes by that doesn’t have me setting up a new PC.
The Epyc 2 event was amazing – largely because AMD didn’t just show a small performance increase and their typical price advantage.
They showcased a massive performance increase and, particularly at the top end, a massive performance advantage.
AMD brutalized Intel at the launch not just because of the stats but because they had a major brand vendor stand up after each segment and rave about this performance.
Regardless of the vendor I spoke to – and this included virtually all of the major server and cloud providers – they just gushed about AMD’s part and how it would change dramatically what they were bringing to market.
