News AMD's EPYC Rome Chips Crash After 1,044 Days of Uptime

This isn't that big of a deal. I mean, sure, it could suck for some, but all you have to do to ensure that this isn't an issue is disable the CC6 sleep mode or do a system reboot once every three years.

Data centres and supercomputers tend to upgrade their tech pretty regularly because of the energy savings involved with newer tech. They might have to do this reboot, at most, twice in the lifetime of their system. It doesn't take long before older tech starts becoming unprofitable.

Looks like this just isn't AMD's year for anything technology-related. First, the Ryzen 7000X3D CPUsburning out, now these "hangs" (with NO FIX PLANNED? WTF?); instead, essentially "turn it off, and back on again"?

AMD's becoming a damn joke these days. Guess I'll just stick to Intel...and yes, I know, Intel has its' share of problems, too...

Considering this issue has an extremely easy work around I wouldn't expect a fix. Not to mention that Rome came out 3.5 years ago so why would they go and make a new silicon layout for a chip that is out of date? Overall your post just seems to be an attempt to shame AMD and make Intel look better for fanboyism.

They seem to be doing fine. No layoffs, unlike Intel.

How many did that ever happen to?

Rome launched in 2019, probably leading to their thinking that if you didn't already hit this, you'll likely upgrade before you do. Datacenter upgrade cycles are usually 3-4 years, I think. If the issue were in Milan or Genoa, I'm pretty sure the response would be different.

AMD's becoming a damn joke these days.

Their server market share has been taking off like a rocket.

If AMD is a joke, Intel is surely the punchline.
