After being delayed final summer time, we have now been given an concept of how Intel’s upcoming Sapphire Rapids processors will evaluate in opposition to its personal Ice Lake Xeon Platinum 8380 and AMD’s EPYC 7773X (Milan-X) chips.
As reported by Tom’s {Hardware}, {hardware} leaker YuuKi-AnS examined the three processors in dual-socket configurations and posted the benchmark outcomes on Twitter.
Intel’s upcoming Sapphire Rapids line has a multi-chip design with EMIB connections and comes out of the chipmaker’s rebranded 10nm Enhanced Superfin node. These new Xeon server chips are suitable with the LGA4677 (Socket E) socket and leverage the corporate’s Golden Cove cores.
On the identical time, Intel’s Sapphire Rapids chips will assist PCIe 5.0 and DDR5. Every processor will even have as much as 4 Extremely Path Interconnect (UPI) 2.0 hyperlinks to attach with different processors on multi-socket motherboards. The chipmaker’s newest processor reportedly has 48 cores, 96 threads and 90MB of L3 cache. The engineering pattern chip reviewed by YuuKi-AnS has a 2.3 GHz base clock, a 3.3 GHz increase clock and 270W TDP.
Sapphire Rapids efficiency
YuuKi-AnS examined Intel’s Sapphire Rapids chip, its Xeon Platinum 8380 chip and an AMD EPYC 773X chip in dual-socket configurations.
Whereas the Sapphire Rapids and Xeon Platinum 8380 methods have 96 and 80 cores respectively, the system that includes an AMD EPYC 773X processor beats each on paper with 128 cores. Theoretically, AMD’s processor will excel at dealing with multi-threaded workloads in comparison with each processors from Intel.
When it got here to YuuKi-AnS’ check outcomes, the Sapphire Rapids chip scored 1,033 within the Cinebench R23 single-core benchmark and 67,932 within the Cinebench’s multi-core benchmark. In the meantime the EPYC 773X system scored 712 and 82,464 in the identical benchmark whereas the Xeon Platinum 8380 system scored 950 and 66,242. It is value noting that because the Sapphire Rapids processors examined have been engineering samples, the clock speeds aren’t remaining.
We’ll probably discovered extra relating to Sapphire Rapids’ real-world efficiency later this yr as Intel has stated it plans to launch its next-generation Xeon scalable processor through the third quarter.
