The Apache Cassandra performance ended up being outright embarrassing for Intel Xeon Scalable Sapphire Rapids compared to AMD EPYC Siena.

CockroachDB benchmark with settings of Workload: KV, 60% Reads, Concurrency: 128. Xeon Platinum 8468 was the fastest.

With CockroachDB it was a case where the Xeon Platinum 8468 had a small lead over the EPYC 8534P(N) processors but then lost to AMD yet again when it came to the power efficiency and value.

RocksDB benchmark with settings of Test: Random Read. EPYC 8534P - 225W Power was the fastest.

Across the wide range of database workloads carried out, the EPYC 8534P(N) processors maintained competitiveness with the Xeon Platinum 8468 and in numerous instances outperformed the Sapphire Rapids CPU, especially when running in power determinism mode. When looking at the CPU power consumption / power efficiency and pricing advantage of EPYC Siena is where these Zen 4C server chips were dominating.
