Intel revealed further details of the glued Cascade Lake

A week ago, Intel unveiled a product that represents a completely different approach to multi-module processors. Of course, it is difficult to ignore the comparison to the solution decided by AMD in its EPYC and Ryzen Threadripper series. This time, he revealed a comparison of his equipment to the competition.

Thus, he put on his platform with two sockets, which included two Cascade Lake processors with 48 physical cores each and AMD Epyc 7601 2P hardware, also using two processors, but translating not to 96 cores, but “only 64”. The advantage of Intel’s solution is therefore visible without any numbers. The ones on the new slides from the presentation, however, prove it, showing performance in real-world applications like MILC (MIMD Lattice Computation), WRF (Weather Research and Forecasting), OpenFOAM, NAMD and YaSK. If none of these names tell you much, then you have nothing to worry about – these are applications reserved for the professional market.

Of course, I always point out that the results of companies responsible for testing their products should not be completely believed, but we can simply believe these differences. Especially that Intel’s solution with a predominance of 32 cores appeared in a configuration with 12-channel main memory, ie “4 channels better”. Of course, there is nothing wrong with that, because AMD simply cannot offer any other product. Result? 150% advantage in MILC, 160% in WRF and OpenFOAM and as much as 310% in YASK. The superiority of the Intel pre-premiere chip is clearly visible, but AMD has not slept in the last months and presented a 64-core EPYC processor. You can read more about him here.
