Phoronix: AMD EPYC 9755 / 9575F / 9965 Benchmarks Show Dominating Performance

Last month Intel introduced their Xeon 6 "Granite Rapids" processors with up to 128 P cores, MRDIMM support, and other improvements as a big step-up in performance and power efficiency for their server processors. The Xeon 6900P series showed they could tango with the AMD EPYC 9004 Genoa/Bergamo processors in a number of areas, but Genoa has been around since November 2022... With today's AMD 5th Gen EPYC "Turin" launch, Zen 5 is coming to servers and delivers stunning performance and power efficiency. The new top-end AMD EPYC Turin processor performance can obliterate the competition in most workloads and delivers a great generational leap in performance and power efficiency. Here are our first 5th Gen AMD EPYC Turin benchmarks in looking at the EPYC 9575F, EPYC 9755, and EPYC 9965 processors across many workloads and testing in both single and dual socket configurations.

It was an exciting 2 weeks for intel, but all that now comes to an end.

Even on desktop, they are advertising their latest and greatest as only 5% SLOWER than AMD's yesteryear...

An on enterprise, amd casually walks all over intel's greatest improvement in more than a decade.

I don't have any 7985WX, but it's not intended for comparison in any case as really different applications with TR vs. EPYC.

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.

Intel enjoyed the performance crown for what..? Two weeks?

[ddriver]

Well, intel still does better in some rather edge use cases, and power efficiency isn't awful thanks to the process advantage.

But then again, it is hardly worth it spending an extra 3-4k $ to get the overall slower intel cpu. Thus the most valid reason to keep using intel is running contracts and production capacity starvation of AMD.

But given the actual CPU design merit, perhaps intel should be prohibited from bidding for TSMC capacity for its "runt of the litter" lineup... Like with a law or something... It is criminal to continue to usurp that much market share with such an extended inferior product line. Imagine the environmental impact of having the bulk of the planet's infrastructure running on cpus that are twice as inefficient as the leading edge.

And the great thing is, this is SP5 drop-in. No need to buy-in into a new platform. sophisticles are you doing alright my mans?
Seems like where Turin/dense isn't outright winning, it's winning in perf/watt and/or perf/$.

And we ain't even seen Zen 5's improved 3D-Vcache on Turin yet. My god.

Amazing that they're getting this done with "worse" interconnect tech than the competition. AMD's margins gotta be much better than Intel at this point.

That Granite Rapids excitement didn't last that long...

[jeisom]

Kind of wish there was a token Ryzen 5/7 or Core 5/7 to put some of those numbers in perspective to standard consumer part on the charts. There are some large numbers on some of those charts.

Turin: "Hold my DDR5"
