It certainly is in terms of power, performance, and cost, but Intel's reputation for rock-solid reliability and a decade of optimization for its architectures, not to mention the established software/support ecosystem, means AMD has a very long haul ahead of it.

Sorry, but especially on servers amd has a better track record with reliability. You are right with missing optimizations on some software stacks but that’s not a long haul it’s just that nobody saw the need to do it until now. Don’t forget all the loss of performance from spectre mitigation a lot of datacenters lost up too 25% performance overnight. Everyone is going amd. Google/Facebook/Disney/Pixar...

For the record, you're shadowbanned.

How can you tell?

Every comment is [dead] automatically without being flagged.

Turn on "showdead" in your profile, then look at their comments. Usually it's easy to tell why it's happened, but if there are comments that don't deserve to be dead, you can "vouch" for them individually to help resurrect them (click on comment timestamp, then click "vouch"). That has happened here.

Thanks for the info!
