AMD 128-core Zen 5-based EPYC 9755 'Turin' tested: 2X faster than 128-core predecessor

AMD EPYC CPU.

As the launch of AMD's EPYC 'Turin' processor comes closer, its benchmark results begin to emerge. Case in point, hardware enthusiast blogger @9550pro found and leaked alleged performance numbers of 128-core AMD EPYC 9755 'Turin' in the 7zip compression/decompression benchmark. Compared to AMD's 128-core EPYC 9654 'Bergamo', the new processor is almost two times faster. But there are a lot of catches here. 

As it turns out, AMD's 128-core AMD EPYC 9755 'Turin' is massively — around two times — faster in compression/decompression workloads than the 128-core EPYC 9654 'Bergamo' processor. These workloads are integer workloads that are similar to those used in servers and they are good indicators of single-core/single-thread performance.
