The AnandTech Podcast, Episode 41: Let’s Talk Server, with Patrick Kennedy
While in San Francisco for AMD’s Ryzen Tech Day, I had a chance to catch up with a good friend by the name of Patrick Kennedy, who runs the tech news website ServeTheHome. We frequently battle STH here at AnandTech to be the first to break news on new server platforms, but it is a friendly rivalry where often we end up picking each other’s brains for information or to bounce ideas off of each other. To that end, I managed to convince Patrick to be a guest on our podcast, to talk about the recent issue with Avoton and Rangeley C2000 CPUs as well as the launch of C3000 and discuss what the upcoming Naples platform can do for AMD.
Apologies in advance for parts of the recording. We did this in a high-rise hotel during a freak San Francisco storm, causing wind to whistle through the vents in the room and no way to close the vents. I tried to clean up the audio as best as I could, alas I am no expert. Experts, please apply to be our podcast editors, and tell us what equipment we should be using.
