The AMD EPYC 9755 processors were leading in the vast majority of HPC workloads over the Intel Xeon 6980P processors with this EOY 2025 Linux testing.

👁 High Performance Conjugate Gradient benchmark with settings of X Y Z: 144 144 144, RT: 60. Xeon 6980P 2P was the fastest.

HPCG is one of the workloads where Granite Rapids picks up a win thanks to the MRDIMMs. The Xeon 6980P processors consumed more power alone while if factoring in the added MRDIMM memory consumption would be even higher relative to AMD EPYC Turin with DDR5-6400 memory modules.

👁 7-Zip Compression benchmark with settings of Test: Compression Rating. EPYC 9755 2P was the fastest.

👁 7-Zip Compression benchmark with settings of Test: Decompression Rating. EPYC 9755 2P was the fastest.

👁 Coremark benchmark with settings of CoreMark Size 666, Iterations Per Second. EPYC 9755 2P was the fastest.

👁 easyWave benchmark with settings of Input: e2Asean Grid + BengkuluSept2007 Source, Time: 2400. EPYC 9755 2P was the fastest.

👁 OpenRadioss benchmark with settings of Model: Bird Strike on Windshield. EPYC 9755 2P was the fastest.

👁 OpenRadioss benchmark with settings of Model: Rubber O-Ring Seal Installation. EPYC 9755 2P was the fastest.

👁 OpenRadioss benchmark with settings of Model: INIVOL and Fluid Structure Interaction Drop Container. EPYC 9755 2P was the fastest.

👁 SPECFEM3D benchmark with settings of Model: Layered Halfspace. EPYC 9755 2P was the fastest.

👁 OpenFOAM benchmark with settings of Input: drivaerFastback, Small Mesh Size, Mesh Time. EPYC 9755 2P was the fastest.

👁 OpenFOAM benchmark with settings of Input: drivaerFastback, Small Mesh Size, Execution Time. EPYC 9755 2P was the fastest.

👁 OpenFOAM benchmark with settings of Input: drivaerFastback, Medium Mesh Size, Mesh Time. EPYC 9755 2P was the fastest.

👁 OpenFOAM benchmark with settings of Input: drivaerFastback, Medium Mesh Size, Execution Time. Xeon 6980P 2P was the fastest.

The AMD EPYC 9755 Turin server was consistently outperforming the Xeon 6980P server with just the MRDIMM / AMX exceptions, such as with larger mesh sizes for the OpenFOAM computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software where the extra memory bandwidth of MRDIMM-8800 modules allow for a win.
