For the HPC benchmarks the Granite Rapids performance-per-Watt was leading over the AMD EPYC Genoa/Bergamo processors thanks to the strong performance. It will be interesting to see how the upcoming AMD EPYC Turin processors compare with their TDPs and the power efficiency compared to Granite Rapids.

QuantLib benchmark with settings of Configuration: Single-Threaded. Xeon 6980P 2P was the fastest.

AMD EPYC Bergamo and Intel Xeon 6 Sierra Forest still are delivering nice power efficiency. Both Sierra Forest and Granite Rapids are much better off for power efficiency than Emerald Rapids and older.
