I really wish they would make the model numbers more distinct. "EPYC 7xxx" seems to encompass everything from 1st gen to 3rd gen, I have to look it up every single time.
EPYC = Brand
7 = 7000 Series
25-74 = Dual Digit Number indicative of stack positioning / performance (non-linear)
1/2 = Generation
P = Single Socket, not present in Dual Socket
When scanning the product stack or test results it's really annoying to look for the last digit though. But I guess Intel does that too with the whole vX thing at the end
I agree but I think that's on purpose, as part of their "finally get some share in server space", to avoid scaring any non-tech decision maker into thinking this is yet another new product or whatever that need to be thought about before signing on it.
In their other markets they have very clear generation naming, even going out of their way to give naming-room to their laptop chips.
AMD really want to be in server space because that's the safe spot (in revenue) for the next time Intel comes backs, and that's the one they missed last time they were ahead.
