    Oh yeah real talk they’ve got some killer datacenter chips, be that networking, CPU or GPU. They’re continuing to work on bleeding edge technologies for hyperscalers, and they’ve got no shortage of insane potential. But when they release two generations of desktop processors with hardware bugs it really puts a heck of a stain on such a stellar portfolio and makes it a lot easier for enterprises to look at AMD for their datacenter and client processors (especially when they’re absolutely killing it like they have been in both segments!)

      Eh Intel’s data center GPUs suck. Gaudi was okay, but gained no critical mass and is being phased out, Xe-HPC is being phased out and was hardly used anywhere, even Falcon Shores keeps getting delayed and looks to be in trouble going by statements about focusing on “consumer inference.” They seem dead in the water here, which is very worrying.

      The MI300X is actually good, but AMD totally blew it by ignoring a few glaring software issues and not seeding development with consumer GPUs, hence it’s not gaining much traction. The MI300A (the big APU) basically isn’t available or cost effective in any cloud instances.
