Server Infrastructure Upgrade Weekend - AMD EPYC Rome Across The Board

[tildearrow]

You might want to switch from dial-up Internet to broadband Internet. It makes a difference.

I am not using dial-up, silly.

Ping times to Phoronix are around ~20ms here, and the rest of the website loads instantly.

Average ping time for phoronix.com is 32ms. OpenBenchmarking.org's ping time is 52ms. My family's DSL service from Consolidated Communications in Altha, FL.

It can make a difference depending upon the workload. When there isn't too much of a difference in pricing, sad it's not 3200 or at least 2933, but more was bummed by seeing just 2x32GB rather than quad channel configuration at least.

Hivelocity not flexible enough to offer custom requested 4x16GB DDR4-3200 ???

I would have loved going for CentOS 8 as it does make a meaningful difference on EPYC for performance but there were some other internal software issues that for time constraints just settled for CentOS 7.

As for CentOS over Ubuntu, because Phoronix has been hosted on CentOS (and formerly RHEL proper) for 16 years so just haven't changed.

What issues are there? Is it something that members of the Fedora community could help with?
