The EPYC 7642 was able to build the mainline Linux kernel in less than 25 seconds or just above 18 seconds in the 2P configuration.
With the large LLVM code-base, the EPYC 7642 could build out LLVM in less than two minutes. Code compilation / build farms is one of the areas where EPYC Rome can outright dominate.
A single EPYC 7642 nearly matched the Xeon Platinum 8280 2P for the C-Ray ray-tracing engine.
It was a similar story as well with 7-Zip.
