John The Ripper benchmark with settings of Test: bcrypt. Xeon 6980P 2P was the fastest.
John The Ripper benchmark with settings of Test: WPA PSK. Xeon 6980P 2P was the fastest.
RocksDB benchmark with settings of Test: Random Read. Xeon 6980P 2P was the fastest.
Speedb benchmark with settings of Test: Random Read. Xeon 6980P 2P was the fastest.

The Xeon 6980P Granite Rapids processors were successfully performing neck-and-neck with the AMD EPYC Bergamo/Genoa(X) CPUs to more pronounced wins in other areas.

Coremark benchmark with settings of CoreMark Size 666, Iterations Per Second. Xeon 6980P 2P was the fastest.

The Xeon 6980P was delivering much greater performance over the Xeon Platinum 8592+ Emerald Rapids flagship.

Algebraic Multi-Grid Benchmark benchmark with settings of . Xeon 6980P 2P was the fastest.

When moving into the HPC benchmarks is where the Granite Rapids performance with MRDIMM memory modules were becoming extremely compelling. (No Xeon 6700E Sierra Forest numbers here since they were hanging in some of the MPI benchmarks on the launch firmware.) The Xeon 6980P dual socket server with MRDIMM-8800 modules was delivering wild performance in HPC workloads craving as much memory bandwidth as possible.

WRF benchmark with settings of Input: conus 2.5km. Xeon 6980P 2P was the fastest.

The Xeon 6980P with MRDIMMs shatter the previously leading performance of the AMD EPYC 9684X 2P Genoa-X performance. It will be interesting to see the Xeon 6980P performance here when using DDR5-6400 for reference.

ACES DGEMM benchmark with settings of Sustained Floating-Point Rate. Xeon 6980P 2P was the fastest.

MT-DGEMM is another workload bound by system memory bandwidth and shows the Xeon 6980P shooting past AMD's Bergamo and Genoa(X) competition.
