AMD Unveils EPYC 7003 Series Server CPUs Based On Zen 3 Architecture (hothardware.com) 27
MojoKid writes: AMD announced new additions to its EPYC server processor lineup today, codenamed Milan. The company's EPYC 7003 series brings with it significantly improved IPC and per-core performance, better multi-core scaling, and more flexible memory configuration options, in a package that's socket compatible with its previous-gen CPUs. Like the current AMD Ryzen 5000 series desktop processors, new EPYC 7003 CPUs leverage AMD's new Zen 3 microarchitecture. Unlike its desktop parts, however, EPYC 7003 server processors use much larger packaging and feature up to CPU nine chiplets (up to eight 7nm CPU dies and a 12nm IO die), with up to 64 physical cores and 128 threads per socket. As things stand today, Intel doesn't currently have any Xeon processors that can match AMD in terms of single-socket core density. As such, AMD's EPYC 7003 series should consistently offer better performance in many workloads. Pricing for these new big iron processors ranges from $913 or the 16-core 7313P, and up to $7,890 for the powerful EPYC 7763, which AMD is calling "the world's highest-performing server processor." Though nearly $8K is not cheap, AMD appears to be continuing its aggressive price strategy with the EPYC 7003 series, relative to Intel's Xeon Scalable processors. The company also announced a who's who of data center and cloud service OEMs supporting the new platform, including AWS, Azure, Dell Technologies, HPE, Cisco, Google Cloud, Oracle and others.

I can only imagine what Milan processors would do, because it will be at least 2-3 more years before we will refresh and get a chance to try these in operation. By then, Genoa will probably be released. My head spins at the concept of that much performance in a single socket!
Oh, and by then I can only to hear about it through the grapevine because I will have retired

AMD has been shipping these CPUs to hyperscalars for awhile. They haven't pushed Zen3/Milan out onto the open market since, outside of their ODM sales, there hasn't been any real need to supplant Zen2/Rome which is still faster than anything Intel sells.
Intel is shipping a VERY small number (~100k to date) of Ice Lake-SP server CPUs which barely compete with Zen2/Rome on a core-per-core basis. Intel simply has nothing which can compete with Milan.
Truth is Milan has been sampling since late 2019. AMD's been sitting on this product for awhile.

They basically banned him from repeatedly shitposting at 0 as AC by forcing everyone to register to post. I think he lost interest and did something else with his life.
He no longer updates his little hobby project of which he was so proud, either.

I do wonder what it must be like from the site admin's perspective. I have spoken to CmdrTaco about it a few times on Twitter. He really wanted to shut down the spamming but of course it was very difficult to do.
Personally I was kind of fond of APK. Mostly ignored his spam but occasionally his posts were interesting.

APK was one of the most brilliant troll-not-trolls ever. His occasional forays into racism were frankly dull, so I try to see him as the whole rather than focus on his obsession with "j00gle" (Google) but whatever.
Otherwise the guy was just so damn dedicated to . . . really anything that caught his interest that it was completely and utterly fascinating. And unlike spammers he often hand-wrote his posts (and then repeated them until people ran out of mod points). The GNAA is still using copy-pasta from a

He'd be modded to -1 instantly on most occasions since he can't stay on-topic. And he can't get around the modding system anymore. So. I guess that scared him off.

The singular of "dice" is "die", and the plural of "die" is "dice". Which is not to be confused with the dies made by a tool and die shop.
So your evidence for the plural of die being dice not dies is that the plural of die is dice but the plural of die is dies but a die is a die not a die.
