There are lots of pros and cons to CPUs and depending on your use case, datacenter environment, software stacks you run, they can all vary. We take a small look at what AMD CPUs may help you with here.

There are several reasons why you might want to use AMD CPUs instead of Intel CPUs for a server environment:

• Price: AMD CPUs are generally less expensive than Intel CPUs with comparable performance. This can be a significant factor for businesses on a budget.

• Core count: AMD CPUs typically have more cores than Intel CPUs. This can be important for applications that can take advantage of multiple cores, such as virtualization and database workloads.

• Power efficiency: AMD CPUs are generally more power-efficient than Intel CPUs. This can be important for businesses that are looking to reduce their energy consumption.

• Security: AMD CPUs have a number of security features that are not available on Intel CPUs. These features can help to protect your servers from attack.

• Support: AMD provides excellent support for its CPUs. This can be important for businesses that need help with troubleshooting or other issues.

One of the limitations vs Intel is the compatibility with certain software and hardware, however.
