Across more than 140 benchmarks the AMD EPYC 9005 series processors were delivering great performance, power efficiency, and value. Those interested can see all 140 benchmarks via this result file.
For the geo mean the calculations were done after dropping the Intel Xeon 6 Sierra Forest CPUs since with that firmware on the reference server there were hangs encountered in a few of the HPC/MPI benchmarks. So to avoid losing those in the overall mean, the Sierra Forest CPUs were dropped when generating the geo mean.
The tested AMD EPYC 9575F high frequency Turin 64-core processor, EPYC 9755 128-core Turin processor, and EPYC 9965 192-core Turin Dense processors dominated across the wide variety of server / technical computing / HPC workloads tested. The dual 128-core EPYC 9755 Turin processor was 40% faster than the dual Xeon 6980P Granite Rapids server with MRDIMMs. Even a single EPYC 9755 (and EPYC 9965) effectively matched the dual Xeon 6980P processors in this larger selection of benchmarks than what was initially run for Granite Rapids.
The EPYC 9755 flagship Turin (non-dense) processor was 1.55x the performance of the 96-core EPYC 9654 Genoa processor. The EPYC 9965 192-core Turin Dense processor was 45% faster as well than the dual EPYC 9754 flagship Bergamo processor. These are some wild generational improvements.
