Intel peddles latest Xeon CPUs – Cascade Lake AP and E-series – to head off epyc AMD mygrayne

In brief Intel will today talk up two new Xeon processor family members: Cascade Lake Advanced Performance (AP), and the E-2100.
Both are, it seems, direct responses to AMD's Epyc data-center processors, which are themselves chiseling away bit by bit at Intel's monopoly in the global server market. The US Department of Energy just bought a $150m Epyc-powered supercomputer from Cray, which must have caught Intel's attention.
