AMD EPYC 4004 Benchmarks: Outperforming Intel Xeon E-2400 With Performance, Efficiency & Value
Moving onto some database workloads, first up was the NoSQL ScyllaDB. The Xeon E-2488 did outperform the 8-core EPYC 4344P / 4364P processors but was no match for the higher core count SKUs. With this ScyllaDB benchmark not being too taxing on all of the cores, the power efficiency for the Intel Raptor Lake server processor was aligned with the AMD Zen 4 CPUs.
But when looking at the performance-per-dollar is where the Xeon E-2488 outright fails at being competitive to AMD's new offerings.
It was a similar story with DuckDB of AMD offering SKUs able to accommodate much higher performance, the Intel Xeon E-2488 peak power consumption being much higher, and the entire AMD EPYC 4004 line-up offering better value.
While running MariaDB was some of the best results seen out of the Xeon E-2488 relative to the EPYC 4004 line-up but still struggling in value and power efficiency.
