Intel Xeon 6980P 1S Performance With DDR5-6400/MRDIMM-8800
For those more likely to pursue a single socket Intel Xeon 6 Granite Rapids server, hopefully these 1S/2S Xeon 6980P benchmarks were helpful against other current Intel Xeon and AMD EPYC server processors. Similarly with having more DDR5-6400 vs. MRDIMM 8800 data for gauging the benefits of Multiplexed Rank DIMMs in different workloads.
For reference, across all of the benchmarks carried out, the Xeon 6980P 1S configuration on average was pulling 322~330 Watts with a recorded peak of 547 Watts.
A single 128-core Xeon 6980P processor packs a punch and delivers significant uplift compared to prior generation Intel Xeon CPUs and being competitive to AMD 4th Gen EPYC processors. Going from a dual socket Xeon Ice Lake server to a single socket Granite Rapids server would yield much better performance while also a reduction in CPU power use.
Stay tuned for more Xeon 6 Granite Rapids benchmarks and other server performance tests later in the week.
