AmpereOne A192-32X Benchmarks: 192 Core ARM Server Performance & Power Efficiency
Turning to some crypto-minded workloads with the OpenMP-threaded John The Ripper, the Blowfish algorithm test saw the AmpereOne A192-32X surpassing the EPYC 9654 and nearly matching the Xeon 6766E Sierra Forest.
On a performance-oer-Watt basis was lower than the EPYC 9654 on average and the Xeon 6780E but above the Xeon 6766E.
Equated in performance per Watt terms, the AmpereOne A192-32X was ahead of the EPYC 9654 by a healthy margin but behind the EPYC 9765 Bergamo, Xeon 6766E/6780E, and also the prior generation Ampere Altra Max.
Moving to some database workloads, first up was the ClickHouse database server where the AmpereOne A192-32X did manage to outperform the Xeon 6766E / 6780E 1P but behind the newer P-core-only Xeon SKUs as well as the EPYC Genoa(X)/Bergamo 1P SKUs.
When simply looking at the top-end generational gains, there is a healthy boost with the AmpereOne over Ampere Altra Max.
But on a performance-per-Watt basis with ClickHouse came slightly behind the Ampere Altra Max while also losing to the single socket AMD and Intel Xeon server processors.
The PostgreSQL bench as run suffers from NUMA issues but in any event was interesting to see the AmpereOne 192-32X outperforming all the Intel Xeon processors but still falling short to current AMD EPYC competition.
