Can't we just ship them off to Mars. With Musk at the helm!
Another round of lame marketing by Intel... Has the world really gone that silly? I'd get it if it was gamer kids, but shoving those monikers at the professional market, that really lame.
Last time I checked AMD didn't have remote execution attack vectors existing in a decade's worth of their CPUs, so AMD's pretty much more secure by default.
That's the thing about backdoors. When they become public, it is a "flaw" or a "vulnerability", naturally, 100% accidental and unintended. And they scatter to patch it, because we cannot have anyone other than US affiliated spying agencies use those backdoors, and it goes without saying, each "patch" for the compromised backdoor implements a new one. But to be fair, AMD being a US company as well, it most likely comes with backdoors too, otherwise it will be a "national security threat" and "the choice of hackers, terrorists and generic devil worshipers". This pretty much applies to every western company, as the US sadly has the entire western world in its pocket. And pretty soon, when China offers its general purpose processors on the market, they will come with backdoors too, because if the US is doing it, then everyone else has to, or it puts them at a disadvantage.
Its like the arms race, the nuclear arms race... you name it. Same old stupidity, pioneered by the same old criminal gang.
Look again. The cache system has been completely overhauled, and AVX512 has already been well-supported by enterprise software suites thanks to the Xeon Phi existing for a couple years.
Intel has a massive performance lead here, and it's one AMD will not be able to make up for with just 4 additional cores.
"We were told that as this is the first generation of the Xeon-SP naming scheme, the generation is omitted from the name, but future product lines (Kaby Lake-SP) will have a generational marker to denote the difference."
Is this a confirmation that Kaby Lake-SP is a thing?
It's meant as a general nod to a future product, which assuming they don't miss one out, should be Kaby Lake-based. What's in the brackets was added by us.

THANKS FOR RUINING MY DAY INTEL!

The lack of on package FPGA and Nervana tech is disappointing as Intel has previously indicated that there would be such offerings.Notmyusualid - Thursday, May 4, 2017 - link

You obviously didn't check, because http://lmgtfy.com/?q=amd+security+errata returns quite a few hits, including https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE... and http://www.zdnet.com/article/amd-owns-up-to-cpu-bu... Further searching leads one to https://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/03/06/amd_micro... and http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2016/q1/450. Please try harder to be honest next time.patrickjp93 - Sunday, May 7, 2017 - link
No, AMD has had plenty of them. They're just small enough you never see them reported.bigboxes - Thursday, May 4, 2017 - link

Intel's Naples 'spoiler'. Looks more like lip stick on a pig -- no performance gains and complexity which isn't welcome.I wonder where their 'datacentre first' 10 nm chip will fit in?

I really, really do not like the naming convention. It's almost like they copied it off the Obamacare website or frequent flyer rankings.A simple line-up of part numbers/SKU's that made some kind of logical sense would have been just fine.
I'm still trying to decide which Intel marketing group I dislike more. This one, or the guys that came up with "Optane".
