We recently published slides from a now-deleted HPC presentation that showcased some interesting facts about AMD’s upcoming Zen 3 Milan platform and while that was informative, it wasn’t the full picture. As it turns out, however, Planet3DNow has managed to get their hands on the complete set and there are a few more choice slides in here.

Let’s start with the SpecIntRate_2017_rate_base figures. This is one of the more well-known performance estimates for high-performance computing and is a category that has historically been dominated by Intel. Intel’s Cascade Lake-based Intel Xeon 8280 scores 359 points here. It is worth noting here that this is a dual-socket system at 28 cores each for a total of 56 cores. AMD’s EPYC 7742 64-core processor on the other hand scores 654 points. This is roughly twice the performance of the Intel counterpart and if you think this is impressive, wait till you consider the pricing implications.
