AMD EPYC 9845 Makes For A Persuasive Upgrade With Performance & Energy Efficiency
From Altair OpenRadioss to NAMD and other HPC software packages, the EPYC 9754 to EPYC 9845 upgrade was very compelling to performance and efficiency. These gains were rather wild from a simple CPU swap and not needing to worry about increasing cooling/power capacity as well as sticking to the existing DDR5-4800 memory. But if planning for heavy production work, the DDR5-6000/6400 memory can be very beneficial for high performance computing workloads to enjoy even greater uplift.
With roughly the same CPU power consumption, the OpenFOAM CFD software was enjoying much quicker execution times out of the EPYC 9845.
