The new AMD EPYC Rome processors on Gigabyte motherboards have managed to break a total of 11 world records and show their great power.
A few days ago, the new AMD EPYC Rome processors were officially unveiled . These new AMD processors are based on Zen 2 at 7nm and are specifically designed for servers and data centers, among other applications. The flagship of these new processors is the EPYCC 7742, a 64-core, 128-thread chipset. Well, with this processor and the Gigabyte R282-Z90 dual-socket and Gigabyte R272-Z30 motherboards, they have managed to break 11 world records.
These new processors from AMD pose a big problem for Intel. AMD with these processors is expected to go from a market share of 1% (before EPYC) to 20% or more. They are processors with a large number of cores, efficiency and performance for a lower price than Xeon.
Gigabyte breaks 11 world records with AMD EPYC Rome
Logically this for the common of the mortals cannot be significant, but it is it and not exactly little. Specifically, seven records have been achieved under the SPEC CPU 2017 benchmark. Four world records have also been broken under the SPECjbb2015 benchmark. It gives us a glimpse not only of the quality of Gigabyte's solutions, but of the potential of AMD's processors.
“SPEC CPU 2017 is a set of benchmarks that measure intensive computing applications, with two main subcategories: SPECrate and SPECspeed benchmarks. SPECrate benchmarks are a measure of performance and are ideal for measuring compute-intensive, multi-threaded applications such as high-performance computing (HPC) workloads. SPECspeed benchmarks are a measure of speed and are ideal for measuring compute-intensive single-threaded applications such as High Frequency Trading (HFT) and other financial industry workloads.
SPECjbb 2015 is a Java Business Benchmark used to evaluate the performance of servers running enterprise Java applications. It is based on a company with an IT infrastructure that handles a combination of point of sale requests, online shopping and data mining operations. It is relevant to all audiences interested in Java server performance, including JVM vendors, hardware developers, Java application developers, researchers, and members of the academic community. "
