Leaked New Benchmarks, Monster 64 core AMD EPYC Rome 7742 vs Intel Xeon

An anonymous source posted benchmarks of AMD‘s rumored 64-core, 128-thread EPYC 7742 processor to the publicly available OpenBenchmarking database. The posting has since been removed, Tomshardware reports.

AMD President and CEO Dr. Lisa Su revealed during AMD‘s Q2 2019 earnings call that the chipmaker will finally launch the core-heavy EPYC processors at a special San Francisco event on August 7. If the leaks are accurate, the EPYC 7742 will have 64 cores and 128 threads and, therefore, would likely be the flagship model. The processor allegedly has up to 256MB of cache and comes with 225W. the 64-core monster will run at a 2.25 GHz base clock and 3.4 GHz boost clock. The deleted posting pitched the EPYC 7742 against AMD’s own EPYC 7601 and Intel’s existing Xeon Platinum 8280 and Xeon Gold 6138 chips.

it comes as a big surprise that the EPYC 7742 managed to beat the Xeon Platinum 8280 by up to 59.06% with the SVT-AV1 codec. As a matter of fact, the Xeon Platinum 8280 barely scored a victory over the EPYC 7742 on SVT-HEVC. Lastly, the SVT-VP9 brings out the best in Intel, as the Xeon Platinum 8280 glided past the EPYC 7742 by around 85.23%.

The EPYC 7742’s alleged dominance continued to be seen in rendering workloads. The 64-core beast purportedly outperformed two Xeon Platinum 8280s by a margin of 19.3% and 6.9% in C-Ray and POV-Ray, respectively.
