Dell Technologies offers two servers that support 4th Gen AMD EPYC™ processors: the Dell PowerEdge R7615 server, a single socket 2U rack server, and the Dell PowerEdge R7625, a dual socket 2U server. These servers feature improved drive density and support DDR5 RAM at speeds up to 4800 MT/s. Additionally, the processors deliver up to 50 percent more core count than previous generation AMD EPYC™ processors in an innovative air-cooled chassis.
Dell PowerEdge R7615 and R7625 offer increased core counts per server, higher memory footprint, and faster memory bandwidth than previous generations of Dell servers. As a result, these servers deliver more virtual machines per physical host. The R7615 and R7625 are also purpose-built to handle workloads such as software-defined storage, virtualization, AI, and data analytics.
The initial white paper in this series, World-Record VMmark 3 Single-Socket Performance using Dell PowerEdge R7515 Servers and PowerMax 8000 Storage, described the VMmark 3 benchmarks. It demonstrated how single-socket Dell PowerEdge R7515 servers, powered by AMD EPYC processors, delivered world-record VMmark performance as of 03-21-2022. This white paper describes how VMmark allows optional power measurement during a benchmark run, and the outstanding performance per watt delivered by AMD-based Dell PowerEdge servers.
