By the numbers… over 80 world records!
The industry-standard benchmarks, typically hosted by a consortium of the ecosystem partners, are the key to setting the infrastructure and application high-water marks for performance. AMD counted the same way Intel did in their previous 2nd Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processor launch for our total world record count much like the marathon runners who are counted as overall winners along with gender, and age categories. World records for benchmarks then are categorized into one of three ways:
Performance – for some benchmarks, the OS is broken out, but the chart icon indicates the record winner for a given socket result
$/Performance – price performance winners, either overall or by socket, are shown with a coin icon
Overall record – means there are no other results higher ranked on the benchmark website and is indicated by the green #1 trophy
AMD is setting a new standard for performance – along with the new standard for price/performance to fundamentally change the data center dynamics
80+ total records with 19 overall world records (better than any other published result) have been recorded already from our partners on the industry-standard benchmarks touching Java, Cloud, Data Analytics, HPC, and best-in-the-world energy efficiency
This includes seven records with up to 69% better price performance than Intel solutions on the published on TPC benchmarks
GIGA-BYTE, Lenovo, HPE, and Supermicro contribute to the 80+ new AMD EPYC 7002 Series Processors world records that include:
10 overall best performance – no other system performs better
Nine overall price-performance records
51 single-socket (1S) results – best of this class server with given socket count, OS, and form factor (for energy efficiency)
31 dual-socket (2S) results – best of the volume server class with given socket count, OS, and form factor
Many key segments are included including five HPC applications tested by AMD that demonstrate up to 2x performance over the Intel Xeon Platinum 8280 top-bin SKU and up to 87% higher on comparably priced 6248 Gold processors versus AMD EPYC 7542 processors demonstrating 10 overall best-in-class results.
Breaking out by segment, SPEC®, TPC Benchmark®, and VMmark™ benchmarks show:
AMD EPYC 7002 Series processors with 19 results in overall leadership positions (performance or price-performance)
SDI/Enterprise with Integer General-Purpose apps, Java, OLTP, ERP, and energy efficiency benchmarks have 46 wins
Cloud/virtualization infrastructure benchmarks from SPEC, VMware, and TPC give another six total wins
Big data and analytics have 18 performance and price/performance victories
HPC accounts for 12 total records
All performance wins provide the opportunity to upgrade, refresh, and/or buy greenfield with true, measurable impact to the ROI/TCO of the constrained data centers – using up to half the servers to deliver the same levels of customer service/SLA and opportunity to expand into new market opportunities.
Why buy 2-socket Intel Xeon processor-based servers when 1-socket AMD EPYC 7002 Series Processors will deliver nearly the same performance at only part of the power draw?
Why buy 4-socket Intel Xeon processor-based servers when 2-socket AMD EPYC 7002 Series Processors will deliver nearly the equivalent performance at only a 2-socket price and power range?
Talking points:
The 46 SDI/Enterprise records include Integer Performance mimicking general purpose application behavior, ERP, energy efficiency, and OLTP workloads
Nine records on this page include socket performance world records as well as Windows and Linux splits
17 records on this page including two overall world record scores
Ten Server-side Java fenced benchmark wins on this slide
Ten world records on this slide including overall world record on SPEC Power and 1-socket price/performance on TPC-E
Talking points:
Six total records including socket performance, price/performance, and an overall record
SPECvirt_sc2013 demonstrates how VMs behave in a single system with performance that still meet QoS/SLA minimums
TPCx-V workload is database-centric and models many properties of cloud services, such as multiple VMs running at different load demand levels, and large fluctuations in the load level of each VM
VMmark is a multi-node, web-scale virtualization test with performance again having to meet minimum QoS/SLA levels – the original uses a standard SAN, but VMware calls out vSAN specifically as a filter option for the ranked results on their website
Talking points:
12 total high-performance computing (HPC) world records
Seven floating-point heavy applications throughput and speed tests shown here with one tie
Talking points:
Six world records on this slide for HPC applications that take advantage of accelerators like GPUs or extra CPU cores to get to solutions quicker – AMD EPYC 7742 wins socket performance and overall world record on two of the SPEC ACCEL workloads
SPEC MPI and OMP measure application parallelism
Talking points:
18 big data and analytic workload world records including five overall #1 scores and all results win on price/performance (with one tie)
