Cloudflare's new Gen X servers proudly feature 'AMD inside'

Cloudflare has deployed AMD's Epyc 7642 chip in multiple data centers

In context: AMD continues to grow its enterprise customer base with Epyc processors. AMD reported recently that Google was expanding Epyc CPU adoption via Google Cloud, marking an important win for the company in the server market showdown with Intel. Now, content delivery network (CDN) service provider Cloudflare is among AMD's latest customers. If AMD wants to reach double-digit x86 server market share this year, it will need to continue winning back longtime Intel customers like Cloudflare.

Cloudflare has been overhauling its servers lately and an upgrade from Intel's Skylake-SP and Cascade Lake-SP Xeons were in order; or, as Cloudflare puts it, "Intel not inside." In migrating from the company's previous G9 servers, Cloudflare states it was particularly impressed with AMD's latest Epyc silicon when selecting a chip for its 10th generation of servers (Gen X).

"We were particularly impressed by the 2nd Gen AMD EPYC processors because they proved to be far more efficient for our customers' workloads. Since the pendulum of technology leadership swings back and forth between providers, we wouldn't be surprised if that changes over time. However, we were happy to adapt quickly to the components that made the most sense for us," says Cloudflare.

Indeed, the tables have turned. AMD has not only turned the tide for the desktop market, but the server market as well. If AMD's latest x86 market share numbers are anything to go by, the company continues to claw away server customers from Intel, but it still has a long way to go.
