CPU Performance: Rendering and Synthetics
For the rest of our CPU tests, we’re using a mix of rendering and synthetic workloads. This is slightly different to our previous server reviews, due to some adjustments, and we hope to be running something similar to our standard server workloads in the near future.
All CPUs are run with SMT/HT enabled.
Even with the addition of a socket-to-socket in the mix, the dual 7F52 setup scores up to +100% in some benchmarks over the previous generation EPYC 7601. Against Intel’s latest 16-core Cascade Lake Refresh hardware, the AMD takes a sizeable lead in most benchmarks (except notably AVX512), which is perhaps to be expected given the price difference and power difference. What is interesting is how in certain workloads, the 2P 7F52 setup can make a reach up for the Xeon 8280s, despite the 8280s being 3x the cost each.

The point is Intel and AMD are adhering to TDPAtari2600 - Tuesday, April 14, 2020 - link
If I'm paying say $2k per year per thread in license fees, how much do you think I care about a few Wh?RSAUser - Wednesday, April 15, 2020 - link
This, I'm super interested in this part as currently looking to upgrade MS SQL servers, higher clock means lower cost for performance, licensing a couple of cores already matches most of the machine cost, not going to care about a few Wh.tyleeds - Thursday, April 16, 2020 - link
Yea, we used to go hunting for processors like this for Oracle boxes. Low cores, lots of cache and screaming fast. You don't give a damn about power usage because your TCO after you factor in all the core licensing is still like 1/4 a more efficient multi-core CPU.CKing123 - Tuesday, April 14, 2020 - link
Except that Intel's definition of TDP is for base clocks, not the boosted clocks.AshlayW - Tuesday, April 14, 2020 - link
You must be so mad that AMD is crushing Intel so badly in all areas right now. Intel is literally irrelevant; client DT computing, server.... mobile. How the giant has fallen.I wonder if we'll be able to pick up i7's for 50 bucks in the bargain bucket?

according to Deicidium369, intel isnt being crushed in anything, its intel that is doing the crushing, its amd that is still losing in all metrics, not intel.The_Assimilator - Tuesday, April 14, 2020 - link
It's almost like AMD sacrificed power for IPC... almost like that's the exact purpose of this chip... hmmm...schujj07 - Tuesday, April 14, 2020 - link
That makes no sense at all since it is still a Zen2 core in the CPU. All they have done is increase the TDP such that you have 8 RAM channels, 128 PCIe 4 lane, & 256MB cache in a high, for a server CPU, clock speed. There is a sure market for this chip as we see very similar designs from Intel. This would be great to use with DRS rules for Server 2019 & big DBs.PamelaHorny18 - Saturday, April 18, 2020 - link
