MiniFE is one of the tests newly added to the Phoronix Test Suite after seeing it listed on the whitepaper. From EPYC Naples to Rome is a significant speed-up and the 7642/7742 both came out ahead of the dual Xeon Platinum 8280.

We've shown the NAMD performance several times now on Rome, but here it is again.

While recommended by the Intel whitepaper, HMMer hasn't scaled too well on modern CPUs.

Of Intel's recommended benchmarks for the public procurement of computers, for digital content creation they recommend their own Embree ray-tracing project. We've been testing Embree a lot already with it being part of the forthcoming oneAPI rendering toolkit. With this Intel-optimized software package, to no surprise, in some of the Embree scenarios the Xeon Platinum does lead due to AVX-512 optimizations but is really not surprising considering it's an Intel software project.

With ACES DGEMM as another DGEMM metric, the Xeon Platinum 8280 only matches the EPYC 7642 performance.
