AMD has hit Intel hard in all CPU segments but its the server segment where the blue team has seen the full might of Zen-based EPYC processors. Intel's iconic Xeon lineup has been disrupted since the arrival of the first generation EPYC CPUs codenamed Naples and the lead was extended with the second generation EPYC lineup, codenamed Rome. However, Intel's first 10nm family is shipping out later this year and as per the latest rumors, it's next-generation 10nm family will be making its way to the server segment by 2021.

Intel has so far confirmed that it's Ice Lake family hits the streets around Q4 2020 which would be around the same time AMD introduces its 3rd Generation EPYC Milan CPUs based on the new Zen 3 core architecture. The Ice Lake CPUs, in general, will be Intel's first 10nm server processor lineup, featuring the Sunny Cove core architecture, PCIe Gen 4 support, and a range of new features. But AMD, on the other hand, would make use of a refined 7nm process node along with an upgraded CPU architecture 'Zen 3', which is expected to deliver some big IPC gains.
