Surprising it took so long given how dominant the EPYC CPUs were for years.

Upgrade cycles at datacenters are really long.

AMD has been ahead for 5 years and upgrade cycles are 4-6 years so AMD should have ~80% market share by now.

first 2 gens of epic didn't sell that much compared to Intel because companies didn't want to make huge bets on AMD until there was more confidence that they would stick around near the top for a while. also server upgrade cycles are lengthening (probably more like 5-7 years now) since CPUs aren't gaining per core performance as quickly
