Michael Larabel over at Phoronix posted an especially complete evaluation on the efficiency differential between AMD’s Rome-based EPYC and Intel’s Cascade Lake Xeons one-year after launch. The battery of checks, comprising greater than 116 benchmark outcomes, pits a Xeon Platinum 8280 2P system in opposition to an EPYC 7742 2P one. The checks had been carried out pitting efficiency of each programs whereas operating benchmarks underneath the Ubuntu 19.04 launch, which was chosen because the “one year ago” baseline, in opposition to the newer Linux software program stack (Ubuntu 20.10 day by day + GCC 10 + Linux 5.8).
The benchmark conclusions are fascinating. For one, Intel gained extra floor than AMD over the course of the 12 months, with the Xeon platform gaining 6% efficiency throughout releases, whereas AMD’s EPYC gained simply 4% over the identical time frame. This signifies that AMD’s system remains to be a mean of 14% quicker throughout all checks than the Intel platform, nonetheless, which speaks to AMD’s silicon superiority. Check some benchmark outcomes under, however comply with the supply hyperlink for the complete rundown.
