Cloudflare explains how it managed to break the internet
'Network engineers walked over each other's changes'
Replace Cloudflare with either Intel or AMD and you might have found a lead on whats happening. Maybe not so prevalent in the CPU tech industry but even more so in software. No doubt essential Linux distros and Opensource software are subjected to this dangerous trend. One should admit though that newcomers also want to make their mark inside tech, but not when woke and transgender have become more important over all others things important, where even education institutions are hypnotized in doing just that.
Back to reality.
AMD currently has the hottest 8-Core gear in their arsenal and its AMD Epyc CPU is implemented inside the Supercomputer Frontier, the current no.1 inside the Top-500.[2] "The new HPE Cray EX architecture combines 3rd Gen AMD EPYC™ CPUs optimized for HPC and AI with AMD Instinct™ 250X accelerators and Slingshot-11 interconnect."[1] Intel has become the loser in this field where only 19 of 39 new announced mainframes are using Intel Xeon. AMD has become the big iron specialist where Epyc is listed 5 times inside the top-10, Intel Xeon only apears at place 9. [3]
