I think Naples will be a very serious threat to Intel in the server market. As Ryzen benchmarks & reviews have shown, Zen really shines in heavy-multithreaded applications. The typical workload of a server.

Though I am kind of worried concerning memory access. Latency penalties when accessing non-local memory are very high on Zen CPUs due to the multi-die architecture design.

Does that mean we will finally see some serious interest in Shared-Nothing design and alike in the future ?
