Intel Xeon W-3175X and i9 9990XE Linpack and NAMD on Ubuntu 18.04

There are 2 recent Intel processors that are really strange, the Xeon W-3175X 28-core, and the Core i9 9990XE overclocked 14-core. I was able to get a little time in on the these processors. I ran a couple of numerical compute performance tests with the Intel MKL Linpack benchmark and NAMD. I used the same system image that I had used recently to look at 3 Intel 8-core processors so I will include those results here as well. **There will be results for W-3175, 9990XE, 9800X, W-2145, and 9900K**.

Numerical Computing Performance of 3 Intel 8-core CPUs – i9 9900K vs i7 9800X vs Xeon 2145W

In this post I’ll take a brief look at the numerical computing performance of three very capable 8-core processors — i9 9900K, i9 9800X and Xeon 2145W All three are great CPU’s but there are some significant differences that can cause confusion. I’ll discuss these differences and see how the processors stack up when running Linpack and NAMD molecular dynamics simulations.
