Two amd epyc 7742 crush four intel xeon 8180m
Table of contents:
Patrick Kennedy, editor-in-chief of ServeTheHome, recently set a new world record in Geekbench 4 with two AMD EPYC 7742 processors. The publication also compared the EPYC 7742 chip pair with four Intel Xeon Platinum 8180M processors, with the AMD system being the clear winner.
AMD EPYC 7742 reaches 193, 000 points on GeekBench 4
In one corner, we have the AMD EPYC 7742 64-core, 128-thread, and the Intel Xeon Platinum 8180M with its 28-core, 56-thread in the opposite corner. The AMD system consists of two EPYC 7742s and has up to 128 cores and 256 threads, while the Intel system has four Xeon Platinum 8180Ms for a total of 112 cores and 224 threads.
| Model | USD | Cores / Threads | TDP | Base Clock | Boost Clock | L3 Cache | PCIe | Memory |
| AMD EPYC 7742 | $ 6, 950 | 54/128 | 225W | 2.25 GHz | 3.40 GHz | 256MB | PCIe 4.0 x 128 | Octa DDR4-3200 |
| Intel Xeon Platinum 8180M | $ 13, 011 | 28/56 | 205W | 2.50 GHz | 3.80 GHz | 38.5MB | PCIe 3.0 x 48 | Hexa DDR4-2666 |
ServeTheHome ran Geekbench 4 on the AMD system multiple times and scored multi-core scores ranging from 184, 000 to 193, 000 points. The best score was 193, 554 points. The highest-ranking Intel system in Geekbench 4 belongs to a Dell PowerEdge R840 equipped with four Intel Xeon Platinum 8180M processors. Therefore, ServeTheHome used the above mentioned system as a reference point.

The EPYC 7742 dual system awards a score of 4, 876 and 193, 554 points, respectively, in one and several cores. The quad-core Xeon Platinum 8180M system scores 4, 700 and 155, 050 points in single-core and multi-core tests, respectively. The AMD system basically outperforms the Intel system by up to 3.74% on single-core workloads and 24.83% on multi-core workloads.
If we do the math, each EPYC 7742 costs $ 6, 950, while each Xeon Platinum 8180M costs $ 13, 011. In this way two EPYC 7742 would cost us $ 13, 900 and four Xeon Platinum 8180M about $ 52, 044. I think the difference is abysmal in favor of EPYC.
