Google Cloud N4 Series Benchmarks: Google Axion vs. Intel Xeon vs. AMD EPYC Performance
In cases like simdjson that is a JSON parsing library and designed to make efficient use of AVX-512, the AMD EPYC N4D instance was the fastest by far followed by the Intel Xeon N4 instance.
The AMD EPYC Turin N4D was also delivering the best performance by far for the John The Ripper password cracking application that leverages OpenMP for threading and also can take use of the latest CPU ISA capabilities.
For AV1 video encoding the EPYC-powered N4D instances were the fastest by far followed by Google Axion and then the Xeon-powered N4 instances. Here the AMD EPYC Turin VMs were also delivering the best performance-per-dollar too.
