Performance Comparison: Intel Xeon 6780E vs. AMD EPYC 9965

Recent benchmarks have shown an approximate 14% performance increase for the Intel Xeon 6780E "Sierra Forest" processor compared to its launch. This improvement is mainly attributable to open-source software optimizations implemented on Linux systems.

Furthermore, comparative benchmarks were performed between the Intel Xeon 6980P "Granite Rapids" processor and the 128-core AMD EPYC 9755, using the latest available software. Based on this data, a direct comparison was made between a dual-socket server equipped with Xeon 6780E "Sierra Forest" and a system based on AMD EPYC 9965 "Turin Dense", both operating with the latest generation software.

For those evaluating on-premise deployments, there are trade-offs to consider carefully. AI-RADAR offers analytical frameworks on /llm-onpremise to evaluate these aspects.
