If you were deploying a new dedicated server today, would you choose AMD EPYC or Intel Xeon, and why?

Beyond benchmark numbers, I'm curious what has influenced your real-world deployments over the past year.

Some things that come to mind:

Single-threaded vs. multi-threaded performance
Virtualization (Proxmox, VMware, Hyper-V)
Power efficiency
Memory capacity and bandwidth
PCIe lane availability
Reliability and long-term stability
Cost versus overall value

Have your preferences changed over the last couple of hardware generations, or are you still sticking with the same platform?
