Phoronix: AMD EPYC 8324P / 8324PN Siena 32-Core Siena Linux Server Performance

Last month AMD launched the EPYC 8004 "Siena" 4th Gen EPYC processors to round out their Zen 4 server processors with the expansive Genoa, Genoa-X, Bergamo, and Siena product portfolios. The new EPYC 8004 series are designed to maximize the power efficiency for server deployments from the data center to edge, teclo, and other non-traditional server environments. Up for testing today is an initial look at the Siena performance in the form of the EPYC 8324P and EPYC 8324PN 32-core parts for seeing how they stack up against 32-core Intel Xeon Scalable "Sapphire Rapids" performance.

Thanks Michael! Finally a valid proof for P ≠ NP.

These server class CPUs are way more processor than I will even need, but having said that...

These tests show impressive results for the AMD processor. Perhaps most telling to me was the power consumption stats on the last page. I think AMD really has built a winner here with processor performance generally meeting or exceeding Intel while consuming less power to achieve that performance.

Again, IMPRESSIVE.

How are the actual platform costs? As I understand, that's supposed to be a big part of what makes SP6 attractive.

It seems primarily intended to target the market niche of communications equipment, but it'd be sweet if they'd try to market it as a generic, entry-level server platform.

Haven't seen any servers or motherboards yet in common channels to know for sure yet but yes should be lower than like Genoa.
