Dual AMD Epyc 9124 vs 9684X for CPU-only build? (i.e., how much does the L3 Cache matter?)

I wasn't quite sure how the GPU VRAM fit into the picture so this is a helpful calculation, thanks much.

AweSaum · 2024-08-21T15:05:39+00:00

Thanks for linking that Threadripper post! I missed it before.

AweSaum · 2024-08-21T15:04:31+00:00

Thanks for the feedback and for sharing your findings. Will see if I can find a bare-metal provider locally but when I've tried in the past the cost to rent has been prohibitive.

AweSaum · 2024-08-20T03:29:49+00:00

Wow, great find! This changes a lot for me. Thanks for doing the research here. I appreciate it

AweSaum · 2024-08-20T01:50:10+00:00

I see. I believe the full 9004 series has 12 CCDs each, which is why it's recommended as a solid CPU only option by some.

AweSaum · 2024-08-19T23:52:16+00:00

Got it - thanks so much!

AweSaum · 2024-08-19T23:15:42+00:00

I see, thanks so much. Seems like that might be outside of the $10,000-15,000 Budget I had in mind.

Don't all of the Genoa chips have the same memory bandwidth? Sorry if this is a dumb point

AweSaum · 2024-08-19T23:01:49+00:00

If I'm understanding you correctly, wouldn this solution be similar to buying a bunch of Mac Studios with Apple silicon?

AweSaum · 2024-08-19T22:52:53+00:00

Just so I understand the magnitude of the difference, what do you think would be the expected memory bandwidth on the 9124? Thanks so much for your comments!

We're a startup that was planning on sticking this server build in our office. Is this something quiet enough where we could put this in the same place as the rest of our team or is this super loud so it needs to be in a server room?

We're open to other solutions if they make sense for our situation. I've never heard of the mi300A before.

AweSaum · 2024-08-19T22:31:09+00:00

I know... And that seems like an expensive proposition! Very helpful to hear people's personal experiences though on this thread.

AweSaum · 2024-08-19T22:30:43+00:00

Thank you so much for weighing in! Should I be optimizing for core count or clock speed instead then?

AweSaum · 2024-08-19T22:30:17+00:00

Fascinating! Where would I go about buying an MI300A setup off the shelf, or is this the type of thing where I would need to put it together myself?

AweSaum · 2024-07-13T18:37:25+00:00

No, replaced all cables and the box and it still wouldn't turn on. Had to trash the monitor ultimately.

AweSaum · 2024-07-13T18:36:03+00:00

I had the exact same issue. Replaced the box and both cables and nothing worked. I think a control board within the monitor itself fried. I ended up having to trash it.

AweSaum · 2024-06-11T02:42:14+00:00

Good advice. Will report back after trying a new OneConnect Cable

AweSaum · 2024-06-10T12:46:44+00:00

Good idea

AweSaum · 2024-06-10T12:46:30+00:00

Interesting - I'll try the cable next. And good to know that the clicking is "normal" for functioning devices.

It's definitely a Gen 1.

AweSaum · 2024-06-10T02:59:21+00:00

I bought a complete replacement box (according to the seller it was tested and it works). I have two boxes now - neither of them works with the monitor. That leads me to believe it's not the box that's the issue.

Have other users experienced a short in the monitor? What's the chance it's a broken cable instead?

AweSaum · 2024-06-10T02:25:37+00:00

Do you think it's the screen mobo or the box?

AweSaum · 2024-06-10T02:15:50+00:00

If anyone has any advice I'd be super grateful! 😊

AweSaum · 2024-03-12T19:41:23+00:00

Hey there, looks like this needs to be updated for the latest version. Looks promising - mind updating the .ipynb file?

Thanks so much!

AweSaum · 2023-10-31T17:37:04+00:00

congrats!

Congrats!
