I'm not sure how much it matters but it seems the two systems were running vastly different kernels.

If the respective kernels are optimal, and practical, for the chips then that's the right set-up. But I'd like to see all the numbers.

Would it be better if they ran the same kernel optimized by Intel|AMD? Isn't that what use to happen when everything was compiled with Intel's compilers?

The articles will keep flowing for months/years and it'll become conventional wisdom that Epyc always pummels Intel. Intel marketing must be on Defcon 1.

The only thing holding up Intel at the moment is their gaming IPC.

Should AMD crack that then it'll be brutal for them (if it isn't already).

And I'll still buy Intel! It's just always the safest, most reliable bet for me. (We only use Xeon systems here with ECC. We value stability and predictability.)

According to Linus techtips the 3xxx ryzen series is already neck/neck with Intel at CSGO (which is known to normally heavily favor Intel - as a csgo player this is really impressive), and appears to otherwise be competitive in other games.

Intel should be very scared. Not to mention the way Intel has crippled different models of their line up just to try to push people to use a more expensive CPU - and seems to have otherwise stalled out in general CPU performance.
