Podle me se servery spechaji i kvuli setrvacnosti trhu. U serveru jde vsechno pomaleji, protoze novinky a zmeny znamenaji riziko a to muze stat penize. Nakupci jsou opatrni a pokud neni nejaky zasadni duvod poridit neozkousenou platformu (AMD Zen), tak zvoli tu ozkousenou (Intel). Sam bych do konce roku 2017 nejspis server se Zenem do firmy neporidil. Ale to vlastne plati i pro pripadny novy Intel, protoze nejnovejsi servery mivaji obcas problemy s podporou pod Linuxem a musi se pockat az drivery probublaji pres jadro do distribuci jako je RHEL a Debian. Je pak naprosto jedno jestli je problem s power managementem, raid radicem, SSDckem nebo CPU (to je velmi vzacne).

Prvnim odberatelem serverovych Zenu podle me budou firmy jako Rackspace nebo Facebook, ktere maji vlastni HW oddeleni a servery si nechavaji vyrabet na miru. Udelaji to minimalne kvuli tomu aby mohli pacit lepsi ceny z Intelu :-).

AMD ide od čias K8 o rovnaké jadro len iný firmware pre server , desktop aj mobile

"Pro AMD bude nejspis opravdova priorita Servery"

Ešte nájsť firmu ktorá bude mať záujem o AMD cpu vo svojich serveroch, hlavne ak sa bude jednať o novú technológiu. Napríklad nášho šéfa som nepresvedčil ani na desktop a po trapase s AMD bulldozerom neviem, neviem.
