News 52-core Xeon 8470 Demolishes Threadripper 3990X in New Benchmarks

[Admin]

New benchmark results have appeared for a 52-core Sapphire Rapids Xeon Platinum 8470 CPU. Benchmarks show the chip beating out the Threadripper 3990X in almost all benchmarks tested.

So, the new 52 core chip is faster than the 3990x 64 core chip (a two year old CPU). Not that impressive! Or is it just me?

Absolutely pointless article and benchmark comparison. Why not compare the Xeon to a new Epyc chip?
Just makes Intel seem like a tryhard. But hey, at least they're now faster than a 2yo discontinued HEDT desktop cpu. Yay! Congrats Intel! 🥳

Click bate nonsence headline. 3% is hardly demolishing a 2yo processor. 🤦‍♂️

If AMD was not around, we would see minimal improvements each year.

By the time Zen4 is announced, AMD will have gone 2 years or more without releasing a CPU faster than the 5950x. Intel has never done that no matter how much ahead of AMD they were.

yeah especially because sapphire rapids is for servers not workstations like the thread rippers. And Im sure the 5990wx or whatever will beat it anyways. I'm hoping the 5000 thread rippers will have come decent single core so it can replace my gaming PC and be my workstation.

If AMD had not been stupid, we wouldn't even have seen that happen. Oooorrrr we would be in the same situation now, since improvement is limited. Take a guess.

Also, at least Intel did improve things, of only a little. When did Vermeer drop again? Oh, right. Almost 2 years ago. I wrirdly seem to remember that Intel did at least something in those two years. Funny.

I wonder at what sort of power consumption this 'demolishing' is taking place.

And the answer why not to compare those two is because the Intel would lose and loose badly

The leaker didn't post a comparison, just the results for the Intel system. The obvious answer to why Milan wasn't chosen for the comparison is because there are no posted results for the same tests. If the results are out there, why don't you go find them and post them here for the rest of us to see?

This 79k Cinebench R23 score is in a 2S configuration, which means a total of 104 cores are used. This is the only reasonable explanation for a 52-core part having 74x multi-core score over the single-core score. And for a fair comparison in the server sector, EPYC 7663 in 2S configuration has a Cinebench R23 score of 113k. (Source) Now 113k vs 79k is what we call demolishing. Hopefully Team Blue will come up with something more impressive when the actual product comes out.

I know. AMD should've just kept on pushing clocks and power usage and not even bothered trying to design a better, faster and more efficient CPU.

You can bend anything as it's most convenient for you I guess.

Or, you know, it's an es so it may have extremely limited single core boost, a 12900k at around 5Ghz has twice that score at around 2000 points.

Or a single core just can't take full advantage of all the cache and ram of the system.
So there you go, at least two other reasonable explanations.

I agree that it is an ES and I hope Intel would (and they should) come up with a better one in the end. It is still too early to judge the Intel product but the article title is way too misleading.

The 2000 single-core score at 2000 is way overboard for a server grade CPU because it would not practically be over clocked to 5GHz (cost-efrectiveness and of course, thermals). A 8P+8E with E-cores not overclocked and a full 52-core configuration are two different stories.

Or a single core just can't take full advantage of all the cache and ram of the system.

I seriously hope you are just trolling with this point. This means the Intel engineers have done a terrible job with their cores if what you said were true.

It's a single core that has to hit 5Ghz not all the cores, it doesn't need a lot of power or does it increase temps.
