SUPERMICRO SYS-621C-TN12R SERVER, TEST SYSTEMS AND SETUP

 * Page 4: Conclusion



We tested most of the Intel Emerald Rapids and Sapphire Rapids processors with
an Intel Software Development Platform based on a Quanta Rack Mount 2S 2U
server. Supermicro also loaned us a very capable Supermicro SYS-621C-TN12R
server so we could add the Xeon Platinum 8468 to our test pool. All of our Xeon
8468 test results are generated with this system. We tested the Genoa processors
with the Titanite system outlined here.

We used the Supermicro SYS-621C-TN12R server to validate our new suite of
benchmarks prior to receiving the new Intel hardware. We've run thousands of
tests on Supermicro's platform encompassing all types of workloads, from the
latest AI models to the heaviest parallel supercomputing workloads, and it has
proven to be an effective general-purpose workhorse that provides sufficient
power and cooling to extract the utmost performance from the Sapphire Rapids
processors (and the RAM) we used for testing.

Due to the forward compatibility of the Eagle Stream platform, this system also
serves as a good litmus for a production-class system for both Emerald Rapids
and Sapphire Rapids. As with all of Supermicro's existing Sapphire Rapids
platforms, this system will support Emerald Rapids after a BIOS update.
Naturally, most large-scale data center operators wouldn't bother updating CPUs
on an existing deployment, but Supermicro will also release a new lineup of
systems based on similar designs.

This configurable 350W 2U system supports up to 12 NVMe, SAS, or SATA drives and
also has provisions for 2.5-inch drive bays on the rear — that's in addition to
the two M.2 ports on the motherboard. Two riser cards support up to two PCIe 5.0
x16 and two PCIe 4.0 x8 slots, with the latter configurable to also support an
additional two PCIe 5.0 x16 connections.

The system also supports two full-height, full-length GPUs and an OCP 3.0 NIC.
The system is fed by two hot-swappable redundant power supplies and sports 16
DDR5 slots across the underlying X13DDW-A motherboard. Other amenities include a
wide range of connectivity options, including two USB 3.0 ports, one dedicated
IPMI port, one COM port, and one VGA port on the rear of the chassis.

We used an Intel Software Development Platform to test the bulk of the Intel
processors in our test pool. As with most development platforms, this system is
not optimized for efficient power use, but the Quanta system with the Eagle
Stream platform does provide exceptional cooling capability for the highest-TDP
processors, thus ensuring a stable foundation for performance testing. It also
comes armed with dual redundant hot-plug Titanium 2600W PSUs.

   Thank you for the write article!
   1. correction: 2nd table first page Intel Xeon 8462Y+ (SPR) price should be
   the same as 8562Y+ (EMR) price = $5,945. Right now (11.22pst) you have Intel
   Xeon 8462Y+ (SPR) priced at $3,583 - which is wrong.

   I'm assuming a chunk of the losses are due to Zen 4 being much more efficient
   but it would be nice to see some clock graphs (not for every test, but maybe
   one per category) if possible. If that isn't possible maybe running this same
   suite on a 13900K/14900K and 7950X to give some context since these are

   Thanks for the review, as always!
   
   Some more potential cons:
   Still significantly lagging Genoa on energy-efficiency.
   PCIe deficit in 1P configurations (80 Emerald Rapids vs. 128 lanes for
   Genoa). In 2P configurations, Genoa can run at either 128 or match Emerald
   Rapids' 160 lanes, if you reduce the inter-processor links to just 3.
   Fewer memory channels (8...

   BTW, I find it a little weird that they still don't have a monolithic version
   that's just 1 of XCC tiles, even as just a stepping stone, before you get
   down to the range of the regular MCC version.

   What does the XCC offer in Xeon Scalable that MCC doesn't? I was trying to
   think of something...

   I just meant that perhaps they could get more mileage out of their chiplet
   usage. Like, maybe there are some XCC tiles with a defect in the EMIB
   section, so just put those on a substrate by themselves and sell it as 32C or
   less.
