Intel Xeon Gold 5220R + Xeon Gold 6226R Linux Performance

Within the software compilation workloads, the dual Gold 5220R/6226R CPUs were offering better performance than a single Xeon Platinum 8280, which isn't too surprising with the software compilation workloads loving high clock frequencies and many cores.

For web servers, the Xeon Scalable CPUs are currently offering better single-threaded performance for PHP while granted the EPYC CPUs with generally more cores will be able to accommodate more traffic, but now with Cascade Lake Refresh are the more aggressive SKUs for competing with Rome.
