Just a random rant: Our data team onprem infra is based on EPYC and boy it's wonderful. We've just placed an order for another 200 EPYC-based servers for our onprem setup that's set to arrive in Q1 but folks already can't wait.

AMD people should be proud, as customers we're really happy. I hope that GCP would have EPYC-based platform at some point too.

Where do you source EPYC servers?

Right now your favorite Supermicro seller is the best bet. Right now.

In two weeks, it's Dell. R6415, R7415, R7425.

What chx said, but in our case we have custom racks with higher density of servers due to spacing constraints so it's not standard Supermicros.
