AMD Epyc 2

[Tony1044]

64 Cores, 128 Threads, 7nm...eat that, Intel:

Also reported elsewhere that they've already shipped some pre-production chips to selected partners but no real, tangible, details.

I wonder how long it will be before someone asks when PCS will offer them in a build....?

No plans in that regard for now. We're staying with the Xeon for the foreseeable future, just got that confirmed from our Purchase team.

But I want one of those.

In a Recoil II, ideally.

Thanks.

Was gonna say, purchasing team decided to stick with Xeon after being unable to confirm if Epyc 2 runs Crysis.

I didn't want to be the one who said "but does it run Crysis?"

I was both shocked and disappointed frankly that 4 people posted replies in this thread before me and nobody said it.

What's Crysis? :stupid:

The original Crysis is a PC FPS game that came out about 10 or so years ago.

It was renowned for having extremely high system requirements. A joke that has come up ever since is the question "but will it run Crysis?"
