AMD Lands Google, Twitter as Customers With Newest Server Chip

'Advanced Micro Devices on Wednesday released the second generation of
its processor chip for data centers and said that it had landed
Alphabet's Google and Twitter as customers. From a report:

AMD competes against Intel to supply chips for data centers that power
internet-based services. Both firms have come to rely on data center
chips for growth because personal computer sales have stagnated as
users shifted to mobile devices. AMD's newest generation of server
chip, called EPYC, uses a new chip-making technology from its contract
manufacturers that helps the chips have better performance while
consuming less power. Intel, which makes chips in its own factories
instead of relying on contractors, is behind schedule delivering chips
made with its own newer manufacturing process. It plans to release
them next year.'
