   Hey Benny!   
      
    BP> does it say epyc in uname -a ?   
      
   Nope.  All kernels are reporting x86_64 which from the kernel's point of view   
   is correct for all despite the differences.  As far as zen3/zen2 goes, I see   
   very little difference other than speed.   
      
    BP> i still don't have any epyc cpu, so i am happy :=)

   The above is a zen2 processor.  Also ecc ddr4 at it's disposal which is very   
   nice.  Also, also a samsung nvme (default boot disk) which so far has been the   
   best when compared to other brands.  Also, also, also four hotswappable sata   
   drives.   
      
   Life is good,
