Amd epyc processors to ship in Q3

AMD has confirmed that its target for the 7nm 'Rome' EPYC is a launch in the third quarter of 2019, which should take place a few months after the Ryzen and Ryzen Threadripper processors.

AMD EPYC 'Rome' 7nm will be released in the third quarter of 2019, Ryzen 3000 will be sooner

The AMD EPYC Rome processor family is expected to increase AMD's market share in servers by up to 10% in 2020, which is very important considering that former Intel CEO Brian Krzanich has stated that he does not want for AMD to capture 15% of the market share, but given the demand and adoption of EPYC processors on major server platforms, 15% shouldn't be too far from now.

In this direction, some major companies are beginning to more strongly adopt the AMD platform in their data centers. One of them is Dell EMC, which will triple its AMD server offering by adopting more EPYC processors.

"Of the 50 platforms we have today, three of them are AMD - we'll probably triple that by the end of this year . " AMD said.

He also confirmed that Dell EMC will launch servers with AMD's latest architecture, a 7nm architecture called "Rome, " in the second half of 2019.

Based on these strong growth numbers and adoption rate, we can expect AMD to deal a serious blow to Intel Xeon's efforts in the server segment. EPYC will offer up to 64 cores and 128 threads along with impressive PCIe Gen 4 connectivity with up to 162 tracks.

"Rome was designed to compete favorably with the Xeon" Ice Lake ", but that chip has no chance compared to ours. We are incredibly excited… ” Forrest Norrod of AMD stated. The news also confirms that Ryzen 3000 will arrive before the third quarter.
