Intel Granite Rapids WS vs. AMD Threadripper Zen 5 SMT Performance
AMD Threadripper Zen 5 SMT Performance Written by Michael Larabel in Processors on 17 September 2026 at 03:14 PM EDT. This article is the last of the benchmarks conducted while the HP Z4 G6i workstation with the Intel Xeon 678X "Granite Rapids WS" was in the Phoronix lab for review and benchmarking. The benchmarks today are for the Xeon 678X in its default configuration of 48 cores / 96 threads and then repeated when Hyper Threading (HT) was disabled for just 48 cores/threads.
