AMD EPYC 9374F is a new part of the ‘Genoa’ generation, which has been subjected to some performance tests, showing itself superior to the Intel Xeon Platinum 8380 processor. The new 32-core model takes a huge performance advantage.
AMD’s 32-core EPYC 9374F outperforms dual 40-core Intel Xeon Platinum 8380 CPUs
The AMD EPYC 9374F processor features about 32 cores and 64 threads of Zen 4 architecture. Meanwhile, the Intel Xeon Platinum 8380 (Scalable series) features a 40-core Ice Lake architecture.
Performance tests are revealing some surprising results in favor of Zen 4.
According to the tests that were shared by Michael Larabel of Phoronix, the 32-core EPYC 9374F is faster than two Intel Xeon Platinum 8380 CPUs, which is quite surprising, not only on a performance level but also on a cost and power consumption level, with the EPYC Genoa part being much more convenient for server customers.
In the traffic, we can also see other parts, such as the EPYC 9554 and 9654 processors, showing promising performance improvements compared to Intel’s Xeon chips and its own EPYC Milan.
TheEPYC 9374F CPU offers some 32 cores and 64 threads, with base clock speeds of 3.85 GHz, while boost clock speeds are 4.3 GHz. The combined cache memory reaches 256 MB. Power consumption is 320W, but can be configured up to 400W.
The manufacturer’s suggested retail price is estimated at $4850. Among the other parts, we have the EPYC 9274F with 24 cores and 48 threads, while the EPYC 9654 has 64 cores and 128 threads.
Larabel’s tests on its website speak to AMD’s efforts to improve the performance of its server CPUs, something it’s doing very well.
