An EPYC trip to Rome: AMD is Cloudflare's 10th-generation Edge server CPU
Cloudflare, an internet infrastructure company, has announced its transition from Intel Xeon Platinum 6162 CPUs to AMD EPYC 7642 processors for its Gen X server design. The decision was made after extensive testing and simulations that showed the AMD chip outperforming Intel's by an average of 25%. This change is expected to increase Cloudflare's capacity, improve performance efficiency, and reduce power consumption. The company believes this move will help it continue to provide reliable and secure internet services for its customers.
