Performance of Dell PowerEdge servers with AMD EPYC 7002 Series CPUs

SPEC CPU2017 floating-point tests

The throughput or rate of a computer system carrying out floating-point arithmetic is important to those working today’s

biggest problems in science and engineering. Figure 2 shows that a 2P EPYC 7742 configuration demonstrated a 1.8x

improvement

in floating-point application throughput over the best previous 2P PowerEdge model according to the

industry standard SPECcpu2017 RATE metric.
