AMD EPYC Milan Review Part 2: Testing 8 to 64 Cores in a Production Platform
by Andrei Frumusanu on June 25, 2021 9:30 AM ESTSPEC - Multi-Threaded Performance - Aggregate
Due to the number of SKUs, I’m splitting up the aggregate scores on its own page:
In SPECint2017, for the high-end SKUs, we see the 7763 improve its 2S score by 4.89%, while the 1S score increases by 7.9%. The 75F3 also similarly sees a +3.9% 2S increase, and a 5.4% 1S increase, both extending their leadership positions.
The low-core count SKUs, while notably quite lower in their relative performance, are still extremely impressive from a competitive landscape, with again the 16-core 7343 having no issues in keeping up with the new 28-core Xeon 6330 or last-gen flagship Xeon 8280.
In the floating-point suite more representative of HPC workloads, we again also see the 7763 increase its scores by +1.3% in 2S and +4.2% in 1S configurations, while the 75F3 increases its positioning by +4.2% and +4.8%. The increases don’t change the overall landscape much, but it allows the parts to be better than initially reviewed.
Again, the 7443 and 7343 are excellent performers here given they outperform the Xeon 6330 and Xeon 8280.

lol - no need to be subtle about it. www.IntelTech.com has been doing this for years.Qasar - Thursday, July 1, 2021 - link
hilarious, go back to wccftech then dannywhatthe123 - Friday, June 25, 2021 - link
good god man, the review quite literally posts hard numbers of epyc simply thrashing xeon in performance even on a per core basis, and you think they're worried that intel will retaliate against them if they don't say something nice about one corner of a segment of performance?what is it about technology that attracts cultists?

There's a reason the PCMasterRace forum exists.msroadkill612 - Sunday, June 27, 2021 - link
"Cultists" - I like it :)So true, & on many levels. I see strangely neurotic behaviour from such an allegedly smart & rational demographic.
As a group, they are prone to be great at rattling off streams of presumably accurate numbers and jargon, but arrive at childishly naive conclusions, & ask the wrong questions based plain wrong premises.

Jesus Christ man. Grow some fucking balls. If you're going to call out Anandtech for being biased at least be straightforward and frank. No need to write an essay trying to couch and justify and be obtuse about itMakste - Monday, July 5, 2021 - link

What are the RAM timings? I don’t see that information in the charts.Andrei Frumusanu - Saturday, June 26, 2021 - link
These are standardised PC4-3200AA-RB2-12 sticks, running at JEDEC timings.https://www.micron.com/products/dram-modules/rdimm...

Thank you. And the other systems tested?
