Our Reading
The launch follows a familiar script.
AMD is “challenging” Intel with a new rack-scale system, because that’s exactly what you do when you’re not the market leader. The system promises improved performance and power efficiency, because who doesn’t want that? It’s set to ship later this year, which is just enough time for the hype to build up. AMD is “taking on” Intel, which is a nice way of saying they’re trying not to get left behind. And, of course, the system will provide a “scalable and efficient solution” – because that’s what all new systems do, right?
