AMD EPYC CPU Sets World Records in SPEC CPU Benchmarks | New HPE Gen10 Server

AMD EPYC-powered HPE DL385 Offers 50 percent lower cost per virtual machine​

AMD Just announced that the new HP (Hewlett Packard Enterprise)/(HPE) ProLiant DL385 Gen10 server, made by AMD EPYC processors set world records. The world records are both SPECrate 2017 fp base and SPECfp  rate2006. The secure and flexible 2P 2U HPE ProLiant DL385 Gen10 Server joins the HPE Cloudline CL3150 server in featuring AMD EPYC processors. With designs ranging from 8-core to 32-core, AMD EPYC is offering  high memory bandwidth in HPE line-ups with eight channels of memory and  support for integrated, high-speed I/O with 128 lanes of PCIe 3 on every EPYC processor. Epyc seems to be doing very well for AMD and after getting a lot of attention in SC17 and getting back AMD to the Data-center market.

“HPE is joining with AMD today to extend the world’s most secure industry standard server portfolio to include the AMD EPYC processor. We now give customers another option to optimize performance and security for today’s virtualized workloads,” said Justin Hotard, vice president and GM, Volume Global Business Unit, HPE. “The HPE ProLiant DL385 featuring the AMD EPYC processor is the result of a long-standing technology engagement with AMD and a shared belief in continuing innovation.”

The performance of AMD EPYC is based on 64-cores in the HPE DL385 2P server configuration connection to 4 terabytes of memory and 128 lanes of PCIe connectivity. All seems to be even chepear than older platforms by50 percent lower cost per virtual machine. AMD EPYC-powered HPE ProLiant DL385 Gen10 World Record Floating Point Performance:

  • An AMD EPYC model 7601-based HPE DL385 Gen10 system scored 257 on SPECrate 2017_fp_base, higher than any other two socket system score published by SPEC
  • An AMD EPYC model 7601-based HPE DL385 Gen10 system scored 1980 on SPECfp rate2006, higher than any other two socket system score published by SPEC

“The HPE DL385 positions the AMD EPYC processor right in the heart of the high-volume market where dual-socket servers are frequently deployed by service providers, large enterprises and small-to-medium size businesses,” said Matt Eastwood, senior vice president, enterprise, datacenter and cloud infrastructure, IDC. “With its combination of high-performance cores, memory bandwidth and PCIe connectivity options it is an attractive choice to address a wide range of business applications and workloads.”

The HPE ProLiant DL385 Gen10 server with AMD EPYC will be available in December 2017.
