Benchmarks: Google Cloud's New C4D VMs Deliver Remarkable Performance With AMD EPYC Turin
More than 100 benchmarks were conducted in looking at the C3D vs. C4D performance. Those wanting to go through all the individual benchmarks in full can find them via this OpenBenchmarking.org result page.
Going from the c3d-standard-30 to c4d-standard-32 yielded 1.72x the performance and from c3d-standard-60 to c4d-standard-64 was 1.69x the performance! This is a heck of a generational improvement for Google Cloud or any public cloud provider for that matter. Thanks to all of the architectural improvements with Zen 5 found in the AMD EPYC 9005 "Turin" processors but especially the full 512-bit data path for AVX-512 and faster DDR5 memory mean some very compelling gains for AI / machine learning, HPC workloads, and much more. Thanks to the AMD EPYC Turin processors the Google Cloud C4D performance is extremely compelling and open up a lot of new compute possibilities in the public cloud. With Intel Granite Rapids currently not available in Google Cloud, it makes the C4D instances powered by EPYC Turin the easy choice for those after the best possible performance in the public cloud.
Thanks to Google for providing the no-cost access to the C3D and C4D instances for this launch-day benchmarking.
