AMD’s Lisa Su has taken the stage at its event in Computex 2018 and one of the first thing she talked about is the company’s EPYC efforts. “More performance at every price point” is just one of the statements that she opened the EPYC phase with – along with a couple of benchmarks. EPYC variants were compared against similarly priced Intel ones and shown to beat out the latter. That this is first party data form a competitor and you should take these with just a little bit of salt goes without saying.
There is a very clear trend in the benchmarks. When the cost per unit is less than $1000, AMD has a clear performance advantage, as the cost per unit increases (ie you move towards more powerful variants) the margin decreases. Starting from 56% we go all the way down to 15%.
