Dell Is Set to Triple AMD EPYC Server Offerings, Support 7nm Rome Chips: Report

Apparently EPYC’s increasing popularity has changed Dell’s mind as well. Although Last year Dell CTO John Roese notoriously said the company did not expect the server market to become a “duopoly” with the arrival of AMD’s EPYC server chips, claiming the new chips wouldn’t change Dell’s portfolio in a “meaningful way,” Now it is changing.

In a recent interview with Itpro.co.uk, Dell representative Dominque Vanhamme said Dell expects to triple its EPYC server offerings by the end of the year. The company will also launch new servers based on AMD’s 7nm EPYC Rome processors. Tomhardware reports.

Aside from 7nm Rome‘s promise of a beastly 64-cores and 128-threads in a single package, the new chips will also prove that AMD can deliver on its roadmaps. That’s the real win in the eyes of data center customers because it signals that the expensive qualification process won’t amount to a one-off expense. Dell also plans to expand its current lineup of Naples-powered servers, too. Vanhamme, Dell’s EMEA Vice President and General Manager, said the company plans to triple the number of EPYC servers it offers, currently numbered at three, by the end of the year. Even with the possibility of nine servers in Dell’s armada, that still pales in comparison to Intel’s 50 SKUs, highlighting that AMD will still face challenges.
