AMD Claims 256-Core Zen 6 EPYC CPU Smokes NVIDIA Vera In AI Servers
A couple of weeks ago, NVIDIA gave Linux blog Phoronixexclusive access to a Vera system to run a few benchmarks on it. Vera is of course NVIDIA's next-generation CPU intended to be paired with its Rubin GPUs, and it features the company's in-house "Olympus" CPU cores, making it something of a wildcard in the market. However, the benchmarks that Phoronix was allowed to run were tightly constrained by NVIDIA, and the comparisons that the site was allowed to make were obviously crafted to highlight Vera's strengths. Now, AMD is making its own comparisons that put its next-gen EPYC CPUs in a much better light, but its numbers are no less suspect.
In a blog post titled "Agentic AI Needs Rack-Scale CPU Performance – AMD EPYC Delivers It Today," AMD argues that thread-, core-, or even socket-level performance comparisons aren't really meaningful because they don't describe what a customer actually...
