AMD’s “Rome” EPYC announcement and the related Computex chatter about deeper Azure collaboration mixed accurate engineering milestones with translation-smoothed promotional claims, but the core story is straightforward: AMD’s 2nd‑generation EPYC (Rome) legitimately reshaped server economics and...
When Task Manager shows fewer cores than your CPU’s spec sheet promises, it triggers an immediate alarm: is Windows misreporting, is some software throttling the chip, or is the processor literally losing cores? The truth lives between these possibilities. In many cases the fix is a handful of...
Across the ever-expanding digital frontier of enterprise IT, the underlying processors that power cloud infrastructure have become hotly contested territory. For years, Intel’s Xeon series held an unshakable lead, but recent shifts have put AMD’s EPYC and a growing portfolio of Arm-based server...
