For this launch, AMD provided us with their Volcano reference platform and a few sets of CPUs for testing. The reference system, which appears to be based on a Lenovo platform, came with 1.5TB of DDR5 running at 6000MT/s and was cooled using an AIO liquid loop. However, while this system was well-suited for general testing, it featured only 3 xGMI links between the CPU and memory controllers.
To extend our testing, we used pre-production versions of Dell’s new PowerEdge R7725 and R6725 platforms—Dell’s latest 2U and 1U AMD-based servers, respectively. These platforms were particularly valuable for our review because they support 4 xGMI links, providing superior bandwidth and efficiency for high-intensity workloads compared to the reference design.
Both Dell platforms were outfitted with 1.5TB of DDR5 at 6000MT/s, cooled by platinum-grade fans capable of handling the 500W CPUs on air. During lab testing, the air cooling on these systems performed exceptionally well, keeping the processors within safe operating temperatures. However, to accommodate ongoing cooling renovations in our lab, we used a CoolIT SP5 cold plate kit connected to a CDU to ensure stable temperatures and lower noise levels during extended workloads. This setup allowed us to push the Dell servers to their limits. At the same time, the liquid loop solution primarily addressed our unique environmental constraints rather than any performance limitations of the platforms themselves. All tests were performed with Noctua NT-H2 Thermal paste and the CollIT SP5 direct-to-chip liquid cooling solution.
We will now examine the headline performance of AMD’s latest EPYC Turin CPUs, comparing their capabilities across a series of high-demand benchmarks to the Genoa and Bergamo models. These tests cover a range of scenarios—from AI inference and 3D rendering to computational workloads and data compression—aimed at evaluating multi-thread efficiency, core scalability, and single-threaded power.
With configurations ranging from the massive 192-core EPYC 9965 to the streamlined 64-core EPYC 9575F, we performed all tests with SMT disabled, the top performance profiles in iDRAC, and power determinism to let the CPUs perform at their maximum. This will allow us to provide insight into how each model balances core count, frequency, and efficiency to address diverse workloads.
