PETSc benchmark with settings of Test: Streams. Xeon Max 9480 2P - HBM Only was the fastest.

For the PetSc (Portable, Extensible Toolkit for Scientific Computation) streams benchmark, the HBM2e does wonders with very great uplift out of the Xeon Max 9480 processors.

Timed Node.js Compilation benchmark with settings of Time To Compile. EPYC 9684X 2P - Power 400W was the fastest.

Timed LLVM Compilation benchmark with settings of Build System: Ninja. EPYC 9684X 2P - Power 400W was the fastest.

Timed LLVM Compilation benchmark with settings of Build System: Unix Makefiles. EPYC 9684X 2P - Power 400W was the fastest.

Timed Linux Kernel Compilation benchmark with settings of Build: defconfig. EPYC 9684X 2P - Power 400W was the fastest.

For large code-bases like Node.js and the Linux kernel, the EPYC 9684X delivered leading performance albeit by slim margins. The Genoa-X processors can work well for building code quickly but isn't their principal purpose.

Timed PHP Compilation benchmark with settings of Time To Compile. Xeon Max 9480 2P - HBM Only was the fastest.

Timed Godot Game Engine Compilation benchmark with settings of Time To Compile. Xeon Max 9480 2P - HBM Only was the fastest.

When compiling smaller code-bases like Godot and PHP that exert less memory pressure on the system, the Xeon Max 9480 2P in HBM-only mode did manage to shoot up to first place.

In these timed code compilation cases though the Xeon Sapphire Rapids processors were consuming more power.

srsRAN Project benchmark with settings of Test: PUSCH Processor Benchmark, Throughput Total. EPYC 9684X 2P - Power 400W was the fastest.

The EPYC 9684X processors saw some small gains with the srsRAN Project software defined radio software suite for 5G.
