EPYC leak! No, it's better than celeb noodz: AMD's forthcoming server CPU

EPYC... where have I heard that name before?

EPYC.... oh, yes. It reminds me of EPIC, the infallible architecture behind the Itanium processors.

Cue Celine Dion hit song...

Re: Trying to make themselves younger?

Yeeeaah naaaah. You talk of the old people that work at HPE as knowledgeable, passionate people that can drive change. A lot of them are not that. They are bitter old barnacles clinging onto a sinking ship. HPE have a stunning habit of having the good staff you are talking about leaving for somewhere else, while firing the remaining good staff instead of shucking the crusty barnacles because they cost too much to remove.

Where they are really screwing up is the younger generation of people they are bringing in to solve this problem. The decent, hard working young staff with half a brain see what is going and get out of there quick smart. That only leaves behind the less desirable young staff that fit in well with the barnacle culture. HPE have a cultural crisis and they have gone to war against wielding an almighty ledger and bludgeoning the good staff with a bottom line. They will never win it like that.
