AMD EPYC 7773X "Milan-X" Performance & Power Nearly Four Years Later
Those running demanding HPC and AI workloads will find much better results moving to AMD EPYC Genoa or Turin thanks to AVX-512 and other improvements, but still some very decent gains out of an updated Linux software stack on the nearly four year old AMD EPYC Milan-X processors.
The Numpy test is single threaded but useful here for also illustrating the much better power management with the updated software on this AMD EPYC reference server.
A healthy improvement over the past 44 months.
So, simply put, for those wondering how AMD EPYC Milan-X is looking nearly four years later with just software updates, they are looking very good both from performance and the CPU power efficiency standpoint. Still very capable processors for those not needing AVX-512, not needing the memory bandwidth afforded by DDR5, etc. If you are looking to extend the life of your AMD EPYC Milan(X) servers or shopping for servers second-hand, the AMD EPYC 7773X with the latest software stack can offer a mini upgraded experience.
