AMD Venice Performance Tests Revealed: Surpassing Intel Xeon 6980P and NVIDIA Vera!

SPECrate 2026_int_base benchmark results show that the AMD EPYC 9965 (192 cores) achieved normalized platform-level performance in overall throughput measurements at 2.37 times that of the Intel Xeon 6980P (128 cores) and 2.24 times that of Nvidia Vera (88 cores). Higher per-core performance is critical for latency-sensitive workloads such as databases, user interaction services, real-time translation, and specific stages of agent AI. (Per-core performance was benchmarked under full system load to accurately reflect production environments.) SPECrate 2026_int_base benchmark results show that the CPU…
