[NOTICIA RAPIDA] EPYC 2 de AMD (Rome) Masacra el ultimo bastion de Intel (AVX512

TDP does not equal power consumption. The Intel Xeon Platinum 8280 system was using 40% more power than the AMD EPYC 7742 system here. The Intel Xeon Scalable family is well known for pushing higher power consumption for AVX-512 heavy workloads.

Even with AVX-512 and better optimizations, the Intel Xeon chips are about on par with their AMD counterparts, yet use more power to deliver similar performance. We look at this as more of a worst-case scenario for EPYC 7002 and it is still competitive.

Para resumir, los XEON ESCALABLE de intel gastan mas energía mientras EPYC ofrece un desempeño similar (en una aplicación no optimizada para AMD) y aun precio mas bajo.

As you can see, the overall performance of the solution is excellent. These numbers are important. They are often used as performance standards in RFPs for server buys. Here, AMD simply obliterates its top-end competition even using pre-production servers.

We also wanted to note that results for the Intel Xeon Platinum 8280 are a bit below what large vendors who have teams dedicated to producing these benchmarks can get (e.g. Cisco 1P and Lenovo 2P Platinum 8280.) We wanted to show our numbers since they tend to be a bit lower than what is on the official SPEC website. Vendors do more tuning and have more resource than we do. For your RFP’s, please use official numbers. We are in the ballpark of what these vendors get, within a few percent, but we are a bit lower. Even our AMD EPYC 7002 numbers are at the lower end of the range we would expect from vendor benchmarks.

Still, these are absolutely monster results. Just for comparison, a dual Intel Xeon E5-2650 V4 is around 105 here. Even in the midrange of a 3-year-old server stack, we are seeing a 6:1 or more socket consolidation ratio from AMD. If you are using VMware per-socket licensing, this is at the point where you can see day 1 cost savings by removing a 3-year old server cluster and continue to save more over time. We have almost never seen that in the industry.

Final Words
AMD hit an unqualified home run with its 2nd Generation EPYC platform. This is now the platform to get in the market. Intel has talented engineering teams and in 2020 they will be competitive again. In the meantime, this is AMD’s market. There are many reasons for still buying Intel Xeon Scalable, but for the vast majority of users, unless 2nd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable CPUs are being discounted very heavily, AMD gives you more performance per dollar and per watt. Plus, AMD has a more modern architecture that Intel looks to follow in 2020 with Cooper Lake that it announced this week having almost as many cores.

At this point, what AMD needs is twofold:

Partner systems to be readily available, and soon.
Customers to change behavior and buy AMD EPYC.

The bottom line is this: for the vast majority of the market, the TCO story for the AMD EPYC 7702P, and other SKUs is too good to ignore. Intel does not have a competitive product on tap until 2020.

Stay tuned to STH as we delve into more detail on the new AMD EPYC 7002 generation in future articles. That may seem strange after this 11,000+ word article, but there is a lot more to this story that we will cover in time. At this point, we are giving our STH Editor’s Choice Award to AMD EPYC 7002 which is only the third time we have ever given out the award.

Sin olvidar el momento "bulldozer" de intel.

en donde AMD simplemente DESTRUYE a los XEON Platinum. Dando casi el doble del desempeño por menor precio.

Ya va siendo hora de que despierten los de intel. Creo que pasaron muchos años regordeándose en la opulencia en lugar de desarrollar tecnología. Estas victorias de AMD están no solo en este sector de negocios, sino en todos los demás también.
