👁 Apache IoTDB benchmark with settings of Device Count: 800, Batch Size Per Write: 100, Sensor Count: 500, Client Number: 100. Latency Optimized Mode was the fastest.

👁 Apache IoTDB benchmark with settings of Device Count: 800, Batch Size Per Write: 100, Sensor Count: 500, Client Number: 400. Latency Optimized Mode was the fastest.

👁 PostgreSQL benchmark with settings of Scaling Factor: 100, Clients: 1000, Mode: Read Only. Latency Optimized Mode was the fastest.

👁 PostgreSQL benchmark with settings of Scaling Factor: 100, Clients: 1000, Mode: Read Only, Average Latency. Latency Optimized Mode was the fastest.

👁 PostgreSQL benchmark with settings of Scaling Factor: 100, Clients: 1000, Mode: Read Write. Latency Optimized Mode was the fastest.

👁 PostgreSQL benchmark with settings of Scaling Factor: 100, Clients: 1000, Mode: Read Write, Average Latency. Latency Optimized Mode was the fastest.

The Intel Latency Optimized Mode was also beneficial for database workloads like Apache IoTDB and PostgreSQL.

👁 High Performance Conjugate Gradient benchmark with settings of X Y Z: 144 144 144, RT: 60. Latency Optimized Mode was the fastest.

👁 Xcompact3d Incompact3d benchmark with settings of Input: Gravity Current. Default was the fastest.

👁 OpenFOAM benchmark with settings of Input: drivaerFastback, Medium Mesh Size, Execution Time. Latency Optimized Mode was the fastest.

👁 OpenRadioss benchmark with settings of Model: Rubber O-Ring Seal Installation. Latency Optimized Mode was the fastest.

Not in all workloads though does the Latency Optimized Mode provide a measurable uplift while showing some increases to the server power consumption.

👁 System Power Consumption Monitoring Overview benchmark with settings of Accumulated System Power Consumption Monitoring.

Across the span of some 140+ benchmarks carried out, running in the Latency Optimized Mode led to the server power consumption increasing by 12% om average compared to the BIOS defaults.

👁 Geometric Mean Of All Test Results benchmark with settings of Result Composite, Xeon 6 Latency Optimized Mode. Latency Optimized Mode was the fastest.

On a geo mean basis the performance went up by 17% with the Latency Optimized Mode to make for a net win in performance and power efficiency. But ultimately it comes down to what workloads the Intel Xeon 6 Granite Rapids server is most engaged in whether there would be any measurable performance benefit and if the increased power use would be warranted. In any event, for those unfamiliar with the new Latency Optimized Mode with Intel Xeon 6, here are some reference numbers for those curious or are learning about this feature for the first time. It's certainly worth considering for those wanting to maximize the performance potential of Granite Rapids.
