Scanning through the offers for 2nd gen Epyc CPUs, I noticed that 1st gen CPUs are suddenly at a heavy discount from many vendors.
For Example the 7551 went from a stable 3800€ down to just 1200€.
And 7451 is down to ~900€ after being stable at around 2400€ ever since its release.
Are those discounts coming from AMD directly? Was there any scandal that I missed? Or is it the vendors who are still sitting on some 1st gen stock, afraid of not selling them at all now that 2nd gen is out.
My original plan was to upgrade my 7301 to second gen. But with these discounts and DDR4-2666 for around 4€/GB I think I have to reconsider. There aren't any motherboards for 2nd gen that I would be interested in anyway.
