Phoronix takes a look at the Linux performance of Intel Xeon Gold 5220R and Xeon Gold 6226R Xeon Scalable Cascade Lake Refresh processors.

Intel Xeon Gold 5220R + Xeon Gold 6226R Linux Performance

At the end of February Intel launched the Xeon Scalable "Cascade Lake Refresh" processors with a number of more aggressively priced SKUs with different core counts and clock speeds compared to the original Cascade Lake CPUs launched last year. Intel recently sent over the Xeon Gold 5220R and Xeon Gold 6226R processors and we've begun our Linux benchmarks of them. In this article is our initial look at their performance using a near-final build of Ubuntu 20.04 and seeing how the performance stacks up in raw performance and performance-per-dollar against the AMD EPYC competition.
