Linux Scaling Benchmarks With The AMD Threadripper 2990WX In Various Workloads

OpenSSL's performance doesn't benefit too much from SMT on this 32-core processor.

Sysbench also only benefited slightly from SMT.

Blender and V-RAY also continued scaling under Ubuntu Linux on the Threadripper 2990WX up to 64 threads. In the case of Blender 3D, it wouldn't run the benchmark at less than four threads.

That's the latest benchmarks off the line for the Threadripper 2990WX. Coming up in the next few days is the aforementioned CCX/SMP comparison with Windows vs. Linux that sheds some interesting light on the OS situation... If you want to compare your own system's performance to the multi-threaded benchmarks in this article, it's very easy to do so using OpenBenchmarking.org.
