Benchmark Results: Compiling, Folding, & Euler - Xeon E5 Server Systems
Trio of Xeon E5 Server Systems Battle It OutWe've seen a pattern emerge that will continue: the three barebones Xeon E5 Servers offer very similar performance. Again, this is what we would have expected. The big question is whether one will throttle due to thermals as we stress a pair of 135 W CPUs.
Euler3D has become a fairly popular scientific benchmark for CFD modeling. Each platform again performs very similarly.
Compiling Chrome using Visual Studio shows a similar performance story.
Dual Xeon E5-2690 Visual Studio
Using Folding@Home, we were able to heat the CPUs at 100% load for hours. These measurements were taken after six hours of running continuously on a single work unit. As we can see, the averages are more or less identical, indicating not throttling during our run.
From a performance perspective, these servers are very much similar, which is what we expected (and indeed wanted) to see given similar CPUs, memory, and core logic. This means that there were no major thermal issues to report.
