Benchmarking The AMD EPYC 9V64H: Azure HBv5's Custom AMD CPU With HBM3

The performance of Azure HBv5 thanks to the HBM3 memory can provide substantial time savings for those dealing with large data sets, models, and other workloads typically constrained by memory bandwidth.

The Azure HBv5 execution time for the OpenFOAM computational fluid dynamics software was more than halved going from HBv4... As a reminder, HBv4 is still Zen 4 / Genoa-X based and not some generations-old VM...

The SPECFEM3D software also saw its execution time more than halved with different models thanks to this EPYC CPU with HBM3 memory.
