AMD Breaks Through Cinebench R23 World Record With Dual Epyc Build
AMD via its official YouTube channel shared a video of two of its Epyc chips destroying Cinebench's R23 benchmark, setting a new world record in the process. The record-setting feat was achieved with two off-the shelf Epyc 7763 CPUs - the ones with 64 physical CPUs and 128 threads of Zen 3 IPC. The system, which was built on top of a reference server motherboard and paired with server-grade aircooling, reached a grand total of 113,631 points - completing the benchmark run is around ten (10) measly seconds and soaring through the previous record-holder, a heavily overclocked Ryzen Threadripper 3990X (105,170 points).
The AMD system crushes the closest-priced Intel Xeon CPUs in performance - a dual Intel Xeon Platinum 8380 (Ice Lake-SP generation) configuration reached a comparably paltry 74,630 points - and AMD wins in the price-performance ratio again, with each of its Epyc 7763 CPUs costing $7,890 compared to $8,100 for each of the Intel Xeon platinum 8380. AMD's name of choice for their server-grade CPUs offering up a justification for its admittedly 15-year-old naming scheme. Catch the AMD video after the break.

WTF AMD...
I'd just like to see real head to head competition, the kind that makes a buyer have a really hard time choosing between two fantastic products at great prices. I don't think we've ever had that situation.
Coal is still great..............be no iron/steel without it!!!Nah............I just seen old Intel stuff just replaced with $100k new Intel stuff...........IT likes Intel, and it's the company's money not theirs, so we will still see tons of Intel enterprise stuff getting used despite the cost savings with AMD gear.
Meanwhile Intel's Ryan Shorud is on a whole different level of cringe and BS.
Even if the marketing don't look professional, I prefer this over the shady/ misleading benchmark results shared by Intel in their marketing.
3990x is a 4k.us chip
So this new 7763 nearly 8k.us chip has gains of only 8500 points over 3990x, okay well something tells me gains are not very good for double price tag so is this a tariff price thing or what lol
I mean record is nice because you can't argue with...BEST.
though I'd watch some fancy graphic + advertising video + bench run and cooling setup tryna make it look all mighty, than few people talking about a 10 second bench.
