As for the benchmarks, AMD pitted a 2P (dual-socket) EPYC system against a 2P Intel Xeon Platinum 8280 system, the former with 128 total cores and 256 threads, and the latter with 56 total cores ...

The Xeon Platinum 8280 is a 28-core Cascade Lake CPU (Cascade Lake). It isn't particularly surprising that AMD's 128 core configuration turns in more than 2x the performance of the Intel system.

New benchmarks for AMD’s upcoming 64-core Threadripper 3990X CPU apparently show it outperforming Intel’s much more expensive Xeon Platinum 8280 processors. We certainly have high hopes for ...

But here's the thing, each Xeon Platinum 8280 CPU costs around $10,000. In other words, the Threadripper 3990X is outperforming $20,000 worth of Xeon silicon in this particular benchmark.

The Xeon Platinum 8280 is 28C/56T, 2.7GHz base, 4GHz boost, and a 205W TDP, ... In HEVC, the performance figures change. Here, Intel and AMD are at parity overall, ...

There are effectively no publicly accessible benchmarks available for newer Xeons like the 8380HL—and they aren't any faster than the Xeon Platinum 8280 anyway, even using Intel's own numbers ...

As it turns out, Intel's flagship Xeon 6980P processor with 128 high-performance cores costs $17,800, the highest pricing we've seen for a modern x86 CPU — significantly more than AMD's EPYC ...

On the right is Intel’s new 28-core Xeon W-3175X and on the left for a size comparison is AMD’s Threadripper 2970WX. The Threadripper 2990WX ran in quad-channel configuration with 32GB of dual ...

Comparing the performance of the 40C80T Xeon Platinum 8380 to the last-gen 28C56T Xeon Platinum 8280, one would expect a healthy lead for the newer platform by virtue of more cores and higher IPC.

AMD looks to again turn the screws on Intel’s Xeon chips with a new Ryzen Threadripper Pro 5000-series of workstation CPUs that it claims will be far more efficient and faster than Intel’s best.

At the top end is the Xeon Platinum 8280, 8280M, and 8280L. All three of these have the same basic parameters: 28 cores/56 threads, 2.7/4.0GHz base/turbo, 38.5MB L3, and 205W power.
