    AMD EPYC 7401P CentOS 7.4 benchmarks - cpu soft lockups?

    I am running into same problem with my Ubuntu 18.04 daily build. I haven't done any tuning with kernel parameters, but the few parameters you mentioned here isn't passed to my kernel cmdline. I am kinda surprised that 3.10 kernel works with EPYC. Or does CentOS 7.4's 3.10 have lots of backports...

    Are single-socket EPYC coming to retail?

    Sorry I am not quite familiar with where to buy new server hardware. I've only bought two pairs of dual SNB E5 (used) from ebay when they were really cheap early last year. Now I am looking to replace that 700W system with a single EPYC 7401P. However I search, it seems that they are...
