AMD EPYC 7773X "Milan-X" Performance Continues To Impress With Tremendous Opportunity For Large-Cache Server CPUs

Intel's Xeon Scalable Ice Lake processors do perform very well still in some of the popular database server workloads like MariaDB and PostgreSQL, though it will be interesting to see how the next-generation Xeon Sapphire Rapids and EPYC Genoa compete in this area.

But with other database solutions like RocksDB, the AMD EPYC 7763 and 7773X processors are able to deliver better performance.

The ClickHouse open-source OLAP data management system is a new benchmark I added to PTS since March. In this benchmark there was slight benefit to the AMD EPYC 7773X with its larger cache size.
