Here the 24-core AMD EPYC 7402 performs better than its Intel counterpart which is what we would expect on this test. That is one reason, for example, that AMD tends to use benchmarks such as Cinebench on the workstation marketing side. This test tends to highly favor the AMD core and cache hierarchy. We are going to use our 8K results which work well at this end of the performance spectrum. It is a ray tracing benchmark that is extremely popular to show differences in processors under multi-threaded workloads. We have been using c-ray for our performance testing for years now. That makes the EPYC 7502 the list price competitor to the Gold 6248R but the EPYC 7402 the core count competitor. As a quick sense of scale comparing Intel and AMD here, the AMD EPYC 7402 is a 24-core processor at around $1800 while the AMD EPYC 7502 is a 32-core processor around $2600. Here, the Xeon Gold 6248R is very close to the AMD EPYC 7402 in terms of performance. We are expressing results in terms of compiles per hour to make the results easier to read: Intel Xeon Gold 6248R Linux Kernel Compile Benchmark The task was simple, we have a standard configuration file, the Linux 4.4.2 kernel from, and make the standard auto-generated configuration utilizing every thread in the system. This is one of the most requested benchmarks for STH over the past few years. Python Linux 4.4.2 Kernel Compile Benchmark We are going to show off a few results, and highlight a number of interesting data points in this article. What we do provide is an extremely controlled environment where we know every step is exactly the same and each run is done in a real-world data center, not a test bench.
#INTEL LINPACK BENCHMARK FREE#
Our position is always that we are happy to provide some free data but we also have services to let companies run their own workloads in our lab, such as with our DemoEval service. As a result, this is a small sample of the data we are collecting and can share publicly.
#INTEL LINPACK BENCHMARK SOFTWARE#
We are also running workloads for software companies that want to see how their software works on the latest hardware. Starting with our 2nd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable benchmarks, we are adding a number of our workload testing features to the mix as the next evolution of our platform.Īt this point, our benchmarking sessions take days to run and we are generating well over a thousand data points. For this exercise, we are using our legacy Linux-Bench scripts which help us see cross-platform “least common denominator” results we have been using for years as well as several results from our updated Linux-Bench2 scripts.
