18. Performance claims
1 2.5X - Testing performed by AMD Engineering on AMD reference systems and an Intel-based production two socket platform. This 3D Laplace computation simulates a seismic analysis workload
used in the Oil & Gas industry; the Naples-based system resulted in ~713 computations/second while the Intel Xeon E5-2699A v4 system resulted in ~286 computations/second.
Architectural claims
2 33% greater memory capacity - Naples max memory capacity of 2.048 TB/processor. Intel Xeon E5-2699A v4 max memory capacity of 1.54TB/processor (Source:
