- Ubicloud evaluates AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D vs. AMD EPYC 9454P for VM performance.
- Ryzen shows ~32% better single-core performance in benchmarks.
- Real-world tests with GitHub Actions Runners confirm Ryzen's superiority in most workloads.
- Longer jobs see smaller gains due to networking bottlenecks.
- Shorter jobs show ~38% improvement, higher than CPU-only tests.
- PostgreSQL benchmarks reveal up to ~60% gains in IO-heavy tasks due to faster encryption.
- Faster single-core performance reduces IO wait and improves overall system efficiency.
- Ubicloud plans to adopt newer hardware for better performance without code changes.
