AMD 4th Generation EPYC "Genoa" Processors Benchmarked
Yesterday, AMD announced its latest addition to the data center family of processors called EPYC Genoa. Named the 4th generation EPYC processors, they feature a Zen 4 design and bring additional I/O connectivity like PCIe 5.0, DDR5, and CXL support. To disrupt the cloud, enterprise, and HPC offerings, AMD decided to manufacture SKUs with up to 96 cores and 192 threads, an increase from the previous generation's 64C/128T designs. Today, we are learning more about the performance and power aspects of the 4th generation AMD EPYC Genoa 9654, 9554, and 9374F SKUs from 3rd party sources, and not the official AMD presentation. Tom's Hardware published a heap of benchmarks consisting of rendering, compilation, encoding, parallel computing, molecular dynamics, and much more.
In the comparison tests, we have AMD EPYC Milan 7763, 75F3, and Intel Xeon Platinum 8380, a current top-end Intel offering until Sapphire Rapids arrives. Comparing 3rd-gen EPYC 64C/128T SKUs with 4th-gen 64C/128T EPYC SKUs, the new generation brings about a 30% increase in compression and parallel compute benchmarks performance. When scaling to the 96C/192T SKU, the gap is widened, and AMD has a clear performance leader in the server marketplace. For more details about the benchmark results, go here to explore. As far as comparison to Intel offerings, AMD leads the pack as it has a more performant single and multi-threaded design. Of course, beating the Sapphire Rapids to market is a significant win for team red, so we are still waiting to see how the 4th generation Xeon stacks up against Genoa.

I’m not 100% sure what’s going on over there but we might be losing a long time review site.
Perch, then Future simply don't understand what they are, nor care about their audience. They almost died when Anand left them, but now that Mr Potato has left, and hammered the last nail in the coffin, they are finished.
Finally, WCCFtech has a leak of SPR pricing and its higher than AMD. That’s a good indication that Intel is also trying to hide the fact that they are outmatched.
Of course, I remember back when they got the new 2016 macbook pro for review, insistent a review was coming, and then just never did it. Totally dropped the ball, right there was the big indication anandtech was going down. IMO it started dying as soon as Anand left.Anandtech has been a dead man walking for years already. Just look at their comment system straight out of 2001.
