		ta988 on Nov 7, 2020 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: AMD EPYC 7713 'Milan' Zen 3 CPU Benchmarked I replaced 4 servers (doing computation work not serving things so no need for availability) at work with a single desktop computer with a ryzen 7... Between the sata vs nvme the RAM speed and the CPU speed, tasks finish faster on rhe Zen2... Oh and it is 1/8 of the power as well. My only problem is that I can't get WoL to reliably work, only the mode that wakes up with any packet works.

I’ve found from building a few Ryder machines now that while the CPU itself is amazing, the eco-system around it remains less polished than intel.

Hopefully this changes with Zen 3 looking like an awesome consumer chip.
