AMD EPYC 8324P / 8324PN Siena 32-Core Zen 4c Siena Linux server performance

Citiraj:

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. The EPYC 8324P has a 180 Watt TDP while the EPYC 8324PN has a 130 Watt TDP. The EPYC 8324P has a configurable TDP from 155 to 225 Watts while the Siena PN parts do not have a configurable TDP. The Xeon Gold 6421N is the main comparison point for today's benchmarking with this 32-core Sapphire Rapids processor having a 185 Watt TDP, 1.8GHz base frequency, and 3.6GHz turbo frequency.

Overall it was quite interesting to see the EPYC 8324P/8324PN with thirty-two Zen 4C cores still competing -- and at times outperforming in raw performance -- the Xeon Gold 6421N Sapphire Rapids processor that costs more and was also less power efficient. Even in power determinism mode the EPYC 8324P consumed significantly less power than the Xeon Gold 6421N competition... Across all of the benchmarks carried out the EPYC 8324P on average had a 89 Watt average with a 136 Watt peak, or in power determinism mode a 94 Watt average with a 168 Watt peak. Meanwhile the Xeon Gold 6421N had a 139 Watt average and 192 Watt peak. On average the Xeon Gold 6421N power consumption was 1.56x that of the stock EPYC 8324P or 1.93x of the EPYC 8324PN.

EPYC 8324P and 8324PN processors so far up against the equivalent Xeon Gold 6421N 32-core Sapphire Rapids processor, EPYC Siena is on track to deliver a compelling trifecta of performance, value, and energy efficiency for those looking at single socket servers and not needing to maximize the core count or density where Genoa and Bergamo come into play or for really driving HPC workloads where Genoa-X is able to deliver stunning results.
