AMD EPYC 9754 CPU V-Ray Benchmarks Show Single Bergamo 42% Faster Than Dual Sapphire Rapids Chips
The first public benchmarks of AMD's EPYC 9754 "Bergamo" CPU featuring the new Zen 4C cores have been published within the V-Ray benchmark.
AMD EPYC 9754 "Bergamo" With Zen 4C Cores Obliterates Intel's Sapphire Rapids In V-Ray Benchmarks, 50% Faster Than Standard Genoa
Yesterday, AMD officially launched its EPYC Bergamo CPUs which feature a brand-new CPU core known as Zen 4C. This new core allows AMD to offer up to 2X the core density over the standard Genoa chips, allowing for up to 128 cores and 256 threads. That's 33.3% more cores and threads compared to the standard Zen 4 core. At the same time, AMD keeps all the architectural choices virtually the same while extending the efficiency lead versus the competition. You can read more about the Zen 4C core architecture here.
With that said, we now have the first independent benchmarks of the AMD EPYC 9754 "Bergamo" CPU which is also the flagship part. This chip features 128 cores, 256 threads, 256 MB L3 cache & boost clocks of up to 3.10 GHz in a 360W TDP package. The CPU was compared in both 1P and 2P configurations and the results are as follows.
The AMD EPYC 9754 "Bergamo" CPU alone was able to beat two AMD EPYC 9554 64-core Genoa CPUs with a small lead of 3.2% The Genoa CPUs feature a much higher boost clock of 3.75 GHz, 21% higher than Bergamo. The CPU also offered a 41% performance uplift over the EPYC 9654, the flagship Genoa chip which also offers a higher boost clock of 3.7 GHz. The CPU was also able to beat a dual Intel Xeon Platinum 8490H platform with a lead of 42%.

But that's just one chip, what happens when two AMD EPYC 9754 "Bergamo" CPUs are used? Well, the answer is a massive 50% lead over dual EPYC 9654 CPUs and a monstrous 2.37x increase over the dual Intel Sapphire Rapids flagship option. Even compared to the current fastest Threadripper Pro CPUs, the 5995WX in a 2-way configuration, the EPYC Bergamo dual-socket solution delivered a 2.42x increase in performance.
That's a mighty performance boost and what's more impressive is that the 50% performance boost over standard Genoa chips comes from a 33% increase in cores while featuring a much lower boost clock. AMD's EPYC Bergamo already being much faster than Intel's Sapphire Rapids may spell bad news for the upcoming Sierra Forest E-Core-only chips which are still a whole year away.
