Ah, so now you're comparing Golden Cove cores vs Zen 4?
In terms of performance
Golden Cove should be compared with its rightful competitors
Zen 2 & Zen3
Since Golden Cove is suppose to rival Zen2 for the time it is announced.
However, in server space, it delayed so much so it is met with Zen4.
I do have a Xeon w5-2465x and a TR 3955WX system in possession
Both are configured as server,
Xeon w5-2465x is paired with 512GB DDR5-4800 ECC RAM
TR 3955WX is paired with 256GB DDR4-2666 ECC RAM
Here is how they performed in R23 MT test under Window 10 pro:
Xeon w5-2465x : 27722 , whole test run at 3.66 GHz flat
TR 3955WX : 26815 , whole test run at 3.9 GHz flat
Put the memory speed difference aside they performed the same.
Noted that
Xeon w5-2465x TDP 200W PL2 240W, base 3.1GHz, launched at Q1'23
TR 3955WX TDP 280W, base 3.9GHz, launched at Q2'20
It is such a disappointing product
w5-2465x gives basically identical performance to a 3 year-old product,
with the only advantage being its 40W less power consumption.
And, the VMs on the 3955WX actually runs snappier thanks to its 3.9GHz base clock, compare to 3.1 GHz of the 2465x
Golden Cove cores are too power hungry so it runs slow in a strictly power restricted environment (Server Application)
When it loses its clock speed advantage it loses everything.
This pic is just a proof of possession
