When looking at the geometric mean for all the CPU-based renderer tests run for this article, the AMD EPYC 7742 2P server was delivering about 78% better performance than the dual Intel Xeon Platinum 8280 server and similarly for the previous-gen EPYC 7601 performance. Making the EPYC Rome processors even more compelling for render farms is the EPYC 7742 costs less than the Xeon Platinum 8280 and in general more favorite pricing than Cascade Lake at current retail prices.

Since announcing its Red Hat acquisition, IBM has been on an open source roll, open sourcing everything from Kabanero, software to make it easy for enterprises to tackle Kubernetes deployments, to Razee, battle-tested software it’s been using in its cloud to manage applications in Kubernetes cluster deployments. This week the company went a step further and threw its big blue fedora into the open silicon ring by open sourcing its Power processor.
