On AMD’s side, we know that the company has launched new processors on the market with its Epyc Turin. This series includes three new chips: the 64-core Epyc 9575F, the 128-core Epyc 9755 and the 192-core Epyc 9965. In short, after being tested by Phoronix, the series puts Intel and its Xeon 6s in trouble.
Epyc Turin vs Xeon 6, it’s a butcher’s shop!
While Zen 5 doesn’t seem to shine particularly brightly in the consumer sector, on the pro side it’s a different story. In fact, Phoronix tests show that the new CPUs from the Reds outperform with absolutely monstrous gains.
In detail, we find processors outperforming their predecessors with gains of 1.55. This was measured between the 9755 and 9654 Genoa. Between the Epyc 9965 and 9754 Bergamo, the difference is 45% in favour of the new generation… And if we compare them to Intel Xeon 6, the new AMD CPUs perform 40% better. It’s growing!
What’s more, these new models are not only more powerful, they’re also more efficient. For example, the 9965 has an average power consumption of 275W, with peaks of 461W. On the other hand, we have a Xeon 6980P with an average power consumption of 322W, with peaks of 547W – that’s quite a lot.
Finally, AMD is also winning the price battle with an Epyc 9965 priced at $14,913, while the 128-core Xeon 6980P clocks in at $17,800. This is the kind of CPU you’re likely to find everywhere in servers.
