The LULESH hydrodynamics software benefits a lot from large caches and memory bandwidth. With LULESH the 72-core GH200 was nearly matching the 96-core Threadripper PRO 7995WX. But on a performance-per-dollar basis the Threadripper workstations came out ahead.
Some workloads in 2024 still aren't as well optimized for AArch64 as they are for x86_64.
The GH200 workstation delivered some surprising first place finishes for the OpenMP-threaded GraphicsMagick image manipulation software.
ACES DGEMM tends to crave memory bandwidth while in this case the Threadripper systems were coming out ahead.
