AMD EPYC “Turín” con 192 Núcleos y 384 Threads Delivers Almost 40% Higher Performance Than Intel Xeon 6

AMD has unveiled its latest EPYC processors, nombre en clave “Turín,” featuring Zen 5 and Zen 5C dense cores. Phoronix’s thorough testing reveals remarkable advancements in performance, eficiencia, and value. The new lineup includes the EPYC 9575F (64-centro), EPYC 9755 (128-centro), Tokyo – Prelude está disponible hoy en PS5 9965 (192-centro) modelos, all showing impressive capabilities across various server and HPC workloads. In benchmarks, a dual-socket configuration of the 128-core EPYC 9755 Turin outperformed Intel’s dual Xeon “Rápidos de granito” 6980P setup with MRDIMM-8800 by 40% in the geometric mean of all tests. Asombrosamente, even a single EPYC 9755 or EPYC 9965 matched the dual Xeon 6980P in expanded tests with regular DDR5-6400. Within AMD’s lineup, el EPYC 9755 showed a 1.55x performance increase over its predecessor, the 96-core EPYC 9654 “Génova”. The EPYC 9965 surpassed the dual EPYC 9754 “Bérgamo” by 45%.

These gains come with improved efficiency. While power consumption increased moderately, performance improvements resulted in better overall efficiency. Por ejemplo, el EPYC 9965 usó 32% more power than the EPYC 9654 but delivered 1.55x the performance. Power consumption remains competitive: el EPYC 9965 averaged 275 Vatios (peak 461 Vatios), el EPYC 9755 averaged 324 Vatios (peak 500 Vatios), while Intel’s Xeon 6980P averaged 322 Vatios (peak 547 Vatios). AMD’s pricing strategy adds to the appeal. The 192-core model is priced at $14,813, compared to Intel’s 128-core CPU at $17,800. This competitive pricing, combined with superior performance per dollar and watt, has resonated with hyperscalers. Estimates suggest 50-60% of hyperscale deployments now use AMD processors.

The Blue Empire is ready to strike back at AMD, with its upcoming “Bosque Sierra” CPUs with up to 288 E-colores. Intel must deliver similar or greater performance metrics with its new E-core Xeon processor, keeping power consumption low and costs reasonable, so we expect to see a heated battle in the server space between Intel and AMD. Besides more cores, “Bosque Sierra” will bring 12-channel DDR5 memory, so the massive core count will get adequate memory bandwidth. Until then, AMD has the crown of performance, eficiencia, and value, and we are curious to see this driving competition and further innovation from both sides.
