Rodinia benchmark with settings of Test: OpenMP LavaMD. EPYC 9754 2P - Power 400W was the fastest.
SPECFEM3D benchmark with settings of Model: Layered Halfspace. EPYC 9754 2P - Power 400W was the fastest.
SPECFEM3D benchmark with settings of Model: Water-layered Halfspace. EPYC 9754 2P - Power 400W was the fastest.

For workloads able to scale to the very high core counts of Bergamo, there was great performance and power efficiency exhibited.

OpenVINO benchmark with settings of Model: Face Detection FP16, Device: CPU. Xeon Platinum 8490H 2P was the fastest.

AMD EPYC 9754 even performed very well for OpenVINO AI thanks to it being very well threaded and leveraging AVX-512. In this case though was the only time Xeon Sapphire Rapids was competitive with Bergamo due to this code-base being optimized for Advanced Matrix Extensions (AMX). With AMX, Sapphire Rapids can compete in some areas against Genoa and now Bergamo.

OpenVINO benchmark with settings of Model: Face Detection FP16-INT8, Device: CPU. Xeon Platinum 8490H 2P was the fastest.
OpenVINO benchmark with settings of Model: Person Detection FP16, Device: CPU. EPYC 9754 2P - Power 400W was the fastest.
OpenVINO benchmark with settings of Model: Person Detection FP16, Device: CPU. Xeon Platinum 8490H 2P was the fastest.
OpenVINO benchmark with settings of Model: Person Detection FP32, Device: CPU. EPYC 9754 2P - Power 400W was the fastest.
OpenVINO benchmark with settings of Model: Weld Porosity Detection FP16-INT8, Device: CPU. Xeon Platinum 8490H 2P was the fastest.

OpenVINO benchmark with settings of Model: Vehicle Detection FP16-INT8, Device: CPU. EPYC 9754 2P - Power 400W was the fastest.
OpenVINO benchmark with settings of Model: Machine Translation EN To DE FP16, Device: CPU. EPYC 9754 2P - Power 400W was the fastest.

But depending upon the model in some cases the EPYC 9754 did manage to pull ahead of Sapphire Rapids.
