AMD's star has been rising ever since it launched its Ryzen and EPYC processors, with AMD bringing back much-needed competition to the computing space, making PCs great again and putting the super into supercomputing, and AMD's MD of Sales for the APJ region joined us on iTWireTV to talk about it all.

AMD's new Epyc 7003 series CPUs are built with Zen 3 cores, and the range includes the Epyc 7763 which the company says is the world's highest-performing server processor, based on internal testing.

The newest range of AMD's epic EPYC server processors, known for kicking Intel's butt, is launching in the US on March 15, which is a very early 2am start for Australians on March 16.

AMD's new Instinct MI100 accelerator is said to be the world's fastest HPC GPU and the first x86 server GPU to exceed 10 Tflops (FP64).

EPYC's epicness is easy to depict, for its superlative speeds and superb security, coupled with a qualitative quantity of cores bound by impressive Infinity Fabric has delivered astonishing performance to utterly crush the competition at powerfully proactive pricing and terrifically thrifty TCO.

Chip manufacturer AMD has taken a potshot at rival Intel, accusing the latter of forcing people to buy more expensive processors than they need in order to get the grunt for which they are looking, terming this impost the "Intel tax".

Ok, so we're not talking about the mercury in the thermometer, but Mercury Research's latest market share estimates for Q4 2018, but either way, AMD's YoY growth is WoW.

It wasn't enough for AMD to make PCs great again: the company epically decided a year ago that it was time to make servers great again, too, and the second year of AMD's avenging ways to the benefit of server customers has now begun.

Complete with its Infinity Fabric laden with AMD's six gems compromising of Ryzen and Ryzen Pro, Radeon, SenseMI, GuardMI, Zen and EPYC, AMD's avenging, superhero-like, next-gen technologies are making life very tough for Intel, and great again for PC buyers.

Dell, HPE, Lenovo, Mellanox, Samsung Electronics, Supermicro, VMware, Xilinx, and many others have announced AMD EPYC server products. Early adopters among cloud data centre customers include Microsoft Azure and Baidu.

More than half the x86 processors produced by 2020 will go into servers in data centres. While Intel is the current leader there, AMD’s new EPYC processor could change the server landscape.
