Sure, but I was addressing the areas where the Zen arch is clearly not beating Intel. Database, java, etc. are areas where the initial benchmarks indicate that EPYC is quite competitive.
In this article, EPYC did ok on Java but very poorly (~half speed vs Intel) on MySQL.
But the article states that they didn't have enough time to tune (they had the chip for just a week compared to 2 weeks for Intel) and a more detailed look is forthcoming from Anandtech, so it might be wise to wait for that.
