Epyc 7402 is 5 times faster thanks to avx2 implemented in linux

AMD EPYC 7402 benefits from great performance improvements

Although the Linux kernel version 5.7 is still in the early stages of development, it has shown great power, especially in the framework of Netfiler that benefits from the new AVX2 instruction sets, and contemporary Intel and AMD processors will benefit. much.

Red Hat engineers are optimizing in this area and have achieved significant results. We don't care about specific technical details and principles, we only talk about the results.

On an AMD EPYC 7402 processor-based server suite, performance improvement across different test items after optimization delivered a minimal improvement of 26%, up to a staggering 420%, and in most tests have improved by more than 100%.

Of course, this optimization is also effective for Intel processors. Red Hat engineers are still investigating similar optimizations for the ARM NEON architecture, but there is no specific performance change number.

EPYC 7402 (Rome) is based on 7nm process and Zen 2 architecture, it has 24 cores and 48 threads, 128MB three tier cache, 2.85GHz base frequency that automatically reaches 3.35GHz, supports 128 tracks PCIe 4.0, eight channel DDR4-3200 and has a 180W TDP.

EPYC server processors continue to speak up and increase their leadership with these performance enhancements.
