AMD EPYC 7642 Benchmarks: The Rome 48 Core CPU That Easily Takes On Intel's Xeon Platinum 8280
The EPYC 7642 was able to build the mainline Linux kernel in less than 25 seconds or just above 18 seconds in the 2P configuration.
With the large LLVM code-base, the EPYC 7642 could build out LLVM in less than two minutes. Code compilation / build farms is one of the areas where EPYC Rome can outright dominate.
A single EPYC 7642 nearly matched the Xeon Platinum 8280 2P for the C-Ray ray-tracing engine.
It was a similar story as well with 7-Zip.
