A close monitoring of the hardware enthusiast community, including many of the most respected hardware analysts and reviewers paints an even more dire picture about Intel in the server processor space. This made it easier for database professionals to make the case for a hardware upgrade, and made the typical upgrade more worthwhile.

In this particular investigation, which spanned twenty months, we suspected hardware failure, compiler bugs, linker bugs, and other possibilities. Jumping too quickly to blaming hardware or build tools is a classic mistake, but in this case the mistake was that we weren’t thinking big enough. Or did we just get lucky or oblivious?

It will also use less power than a two-socket Intel server, with a lower hardware cost, and potentially lower licensing costs (for things like VMware). Single-threaded CPU performance is the one relative weak point of the AMD EPYC 7742 processor. AMD also gives you more performance per dollar and per watt with the EPYC 7002 Series.

Nowadays, there are three built-in tracers that you should know about: - **ftrace**: since 2008, this serves many tracing needs, and has been enhanced recently with hist triggers for custom histograms. As a performance engineer who does kernel tracing, I find the lack of an ID I can trace in the kernel to be pretty annoying.
