AMD Breaks Through Cinebench R23 World Record With Dual Epyc Build

[Raevenlord]

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.

AMD throwing that shade, LOL.

 

[Ja.KooLit]

amd gonna be all over on facebook again with this. But I am very happy. Intel really need to step up

 

[ZoneDymo]

gawd damn do I hate clickbait, I instantly hate these people, does nobody have an original bone in their body?

 

[R00kie]

Not with them cringy slogans again, AMD...

 

[Fergutor]

Promoting server products with childish marketing...

WTF AMD...

 

[milewski1015]

Damn, shots fired, AMD calling Xeon trash directly to its face

With price and performance like that, AMD are gonna put Intel out of business eventually if they don't improve their products. We've been here before however with the Athlon 64 in 2005 and Intel came roaring back for well over a decade, so we can safely say that Intel will eventually get its act together.

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.

All sedimentary rocks are pretty cool though.

AMD Is already competing in the enterprise market. You can get twice for half compared to intel.

Exactly. Intel are in trouble.

HEY
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.

I wouldn't be that casual about it.

What is this where are you Intel where are you.

I like this, “Xeon was great, so was coal”. It’s about time AMD step up on marketing since Intel is already doing that, and releasing all sorts of shady benchmark results to make themselves look good.

WTF AMD...

AMD used the name... EPYC, with a stupid name like that, the marketing was always going to be in the gutter.

 

[Prime2515102]

That video made me very uncomfortable.

 

[Minus Infinity]

Might pop 4 of these bad boys in my next rig, just for Facebook and youtube of course. Should be just enough power.

In the case of AMD, at least their benchmark numbers are mostly legit. I agree their marketing is cringy as F though.
Meanwhile Intel's Ryan Shorud is on a whole different level of cringe and BS.

How does the name matter? Xeon sounds great? ARM makes sense? How does Snapdragon sound?

Even if the marketing don't look professional, I prefer this over the shady/ misleading benchmark results shared by Intel in their marketing.

 

[Fluffmeister]

The name is particularly childish, that's all.

Hi,
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

 

[Post Nut Clairvoyance]

14minute video for 10 second bench run, this is cock.
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.
