back to article AMD on the edge: Stripped down Siena Epycs teased

At the Hot Chips conference this week AMD teased its upcoming edge-friendly Siena family of Epyc processors, revealing modest power consumption and designs that allow them to nestle into relatively small devices. As The Register reported in 2022, major server makers offer few AMD-based devices for the network edge, with Intel …
