      AMD EPYC 4545P Achieves 2.24x The Performance At Half The Power Of The First EPYC CPU

      news.movim.eu / Phoronix • 11 August

Complementing all the performance and power data from that review article, here are some additional tests putting its performance and efficiency compared to the original AMD EPYC 7601 flagship processor that ushered in the EPYC family eight years ago.
