There&amp;#x27;s lots of networking and storage things that would be performance bottlenecked on an intel cpu with less PCI-E lanes. Having a 16-core CPU around $950 that has 128 PCI-E 4.0 lanes is very useful for many things.&lt;p&gt;And not just for EPYC but also the single socket threadripper parts, which are used in both higher end workstations and some types of server.</text><parent_chain><item><author>0xy</author><text>What&amp;#x27;s stopping more people from moving cloud workloads to AMD?

However recently I committed to some new generation AMD instances, but Graviton (ARM) were serious contenders.</text><parent_chain><item><author>0xy</author><text>What&amp;#x27;s stopping more people from moving cloud workloads to AMD?
