More of just about everything that matters in the datacenter space. Just over two years ago, AMD took a vital step into reigniting ambitions in the x86 server and workstation CPU space by releasing a slew of high-performance Epyc processors based on the all-new Zen architecture.

Offering performance leadership compared to incumbent Intel Xeons across a wide range of price points - $400 to $4,000 - Epyc, in its various configurations, was a win-win for AMD. Why? Because AMD had no meaningful market-share in the lucrative server and workstation markets prior to Epyc, so the only way was up, and its emergence put Intel's Xeons under a modicum of pressure for the first time in over 10 years.
