Blender 2.80 Performance With Intel Xeon Platinum 8280 vs. AMD EPYC 7742

For the BMW scene that has been around a while with Blender, it's impressive to see it's down to taking less than 30 seconds to render with today's newest processors.

Of the common Blender benchmark scenes, Barbershop is one of the newest and most demanding yet even for the AMD EPYC 7742 2P it's approaching just two minutes to render.

With Blender 2.80 and five popular test scenes, it's a matter of AMD's previous top-end EPYC 7601 processor trailing the latest top-end non-AP Intel Xeon Platinum 8280 processors in the Blender rendering performance on the CPU. But when moving to the brand new AMD EPYC 7742 2P, the performance is now a great deal faster than Intel's Cascadelake. Blender (2.80) continues scaling very well with today's increasing core count servers.
