Shared tests with results for both models: 1
Each row uses one Blender version, operating system and compute backend.
| Test and settings | AMD EPYC 9754 | AMD EPYC 9684X | Result difference¹ |
|---|---|---|---|
| Blender 4.1.0 / CPU / Linux | 3082.993526 samples/min Submissions: 5 | 3572.444303 samples/min Submissions: 15 | +15.9 % |
¹ Difference of the second result relative to the first in that row. No percentage is calculated for different upscaling algorithms. This compares published results, not a universal performance index.
These results have no shared test of both models with the same version and settings. They are shown separately without a percentage difference.
Results were obtained on the reported systems. Test versions and settings remain separate; incomplete conditions do not support calculated model performance differences.
