AMD EPYC 4565P & EPYC 4585PX Benchmarks Against Xeon 6369P: EPYC 4005 Champions Entry-Level Server Performance
Code compilation benchmarks to kick things off and it's right with a bam. For compiling a default Linux x86_64 kernel build, the EPYC 4565P / 4585PX processors could build the Linux kernel in 43~45 seconds while the top-end Xeon 6300 series processor for the same entry level server segment took... 97 seconds! The new EPYC 4005 processors at the top-end were twice the speed of the Xeon 6369P. Even with the same core/thread counts as the EPYC 4004 prior-generation parts, there were healthy generational improvements with the EPYC 4565P and EPYC 4585PX.
On average the EPYC CPUs did come with higher CPU power consumption at a 146~150 Watt average compared to the Xeon 6369P at a 98 Watt average, but for peak power consumption the Xeon 6369P reached 193 Watts compared to 200 Watts with the EPYC 4005 parts.
With the performance of the EPYC 4005 (and EPYC 4004) processors, the performance-per-Watt was sharply better with the EPYC Grado processors.
For a Linux kernel build with all possible kernel modules included, the EPYC 4005 processors delivered even greater advantages over the Xeon 6369P.
For anyone considering a entry-level server for a CI/CD build box or similar purposes of compiling code a lot, the EPYC 4005 series going up to 16-cores / 32-threads is the easy choice with the Xeon 6300 series being simply non-competitive in topping out at 8 cores / 16 threads.
