AMD EPYC CPUs benchmarked for local LLM performance

A user on r/LocalLLaMA shared benchmarks comparing two AMD EPYC processors, the 9135 and 9374f, for running local large language models. The 9374f, with its 8 Core Complex Dies (CCDs), was expected to offer an advantage, but initial tests showed no decoding improvement over the 9135. However, when using 48 threads, the 9374f demonstrated superior performance in certain scenarios, though it was still considered worse for gaming. AI

IMPACT Hardware choices can significantly impact the performance and cost-effectiveness of running local LLMs.

    Are EPYC CCDs all you need + benchmarks

    <!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>Recently I've found a deal to buy 9374f for cheap to replace my bottle-necked 9135. 8 CCD looked delicious. But first benchmarks showed me no decoding advantage. Until I used 48 threads. Non 64 or 32, which gave even worse performance than 9135 i…
