New benchmarks of the Intel Xeon Platinum 8468 48-Core Sapphire Rapids CPU person leaked retired which amusement competitory show versus AMD's Milan.

Intel Xeon Platinum 8468 48-Core "Sapphire Rapids" CPU Trades Blows With AMD's EPYC 7763 64-Core "Milan" Chips

The benchmark that has been discovered by HXL (@9550pro) shows america an engineering illustration of the Intel Xeon Platinum 8468, 1 of the many Sapphire Rapids-SP CPUs. Based connected the specs expanse that leaked earlier, the Xeon Platinum 8468 is going to diagnostic 48 cores and 96 threads portion utilizing the 10nm ESF process node and the Golden Cove halfway architecture. The CPU is expected to diagnostic 105 MB of L3 cache &  a 350W TDP. The CPU is listed with 2.1 GHz clocks wrong Cinebench R23 and 800 MHz wrong CPU-z which suggests that the timepiece speeds aren't adjacent to the retail numbers.

The CPU tested is the 6th Stepping and we cognize from erstwhile reports that the Sapphire Rapids-SP chips person gone done various steppings to hole assorted bugs that the chips person encountered truthful far. It is reported that the CPU was tested wrong 2 benchmarks, 1 being Cinebench R23 & the different being V-Ray. The CPU was tested successful a dual-socket configuration with 96 cores & 192 threads successful total.

Starting with Cinebench R23, the spot scored 90411 points successful multi-core and 1351 points successful single-core. The CPU is decidedly faster than retail EPYC Milan chips successful single-core and comparable successful the multi-core tests since the apical EPYC 7763 scores astir 90000-95000 points successful the aforesaid test. This means that the EPYC 7763 is astatine champion 8.5% faster successful multi-threaded performance, a quality that tin easy beryllium flooded by last retail timepiece speeds. The EPYC spot besides includes 33% much cores.

Compared to an aboriginal ES EPYC Genoa chip, the Intel Xeon Platinum 8468 CPU with 48-cores and 96 threads oregon 96 cores and 192 threads successful full is astir 18% slower but erstwhile again, the Genoa spot offers 33% much threads. The afloat imaginable of EPYC Genoa 96-core chips is constricted to 256 threads since that's the maximum thread limit.

We besides person V-Ray wherever the Intel Xeon Platinum 8468 48-Core CPUs are listed successful a 4-socket config but it was really moving a 2-socket config. The CPU timepiece velocity is rated a spot higher astatine 3.0 GHz & the people is rated astatine 85,766 samples. Following is however the show compares to different server chips:

Intel has moved the Sapphire Rapids-SP Xeon CPU motorboat to aboriginal 2023 truthful it looks similar they volition beryllium competing with EPYC Genoa-X & Bergamo CPUs by the clip they are wide disposable to x86 server customers. This benignant of show would person been competitory a fewer years backmost against Milan but with Zen 4 connected the horizon, things look grim for Intel contempt the large uplift implicit Ice Lake-SP which present seems excessively little.
