Given the pasting meltdown had on Intel performance and cloud providers pretty much have to run the patches, if Epyc doesn't sell well then Intel is pretty much unassailable.

I'm not convinced they are Opteron showed they can be vulnerable and Intel's handling of meltdown and PR was terrible, I imagine lots of pissed off CTO's.

It might be an opportunity for a cloud startup to create a whole business around AMD, it may be too hard for the established players to switch at this point.
