Right away when firing off some HPC benchmarks, the C3D instance easily blew past the prior generation C2D and N2D instances, to no surprise given the generational gains made with Genoa / Zen 4.

Not only was the Genoa C2D VMs delivering the best performance but was also capable of delivering the best value too in the computational heavy workloads.

Rodinia benchmark with settings of Test: OpenMP LavaMD. c3d-standard-60 AMD Genoa was the fastest.

Rodinia benchmark with settings of Test: OpenMP HotSpot3D. c3d-standard-60 AMD Genoa was the fastest.

Laghos benchmark with settings of Test: Triple Point Problem. c3d-standard-60 AMD Genoa was the fastest.

Laghos benchmark with settings of Test: Sedov Blast Wave, ube_922_hex.mesh. c3d-standard-60 AMD Genoa was the fastest.

Very healthy generational improvements with C3D on Google Cloud.

OpenRadioss benchmark with settings of Model: Chrysler Neon 1M. c3d-standard-60 AMD Genoa was the fastest.

With Altair's OpenRadioss software there were also very nice improvements with EPYC Genoa. It's too bad there isn't a Google Cloud Sapphire Rapids VM around 60 vCPUs, but there are plenty of Genoa vs. Sapphire Rapids CPU benchmarks on Phoronix for those interested.

The C3D VMs are priced well that for CPU heavy workloads they can deliver the best value too of the instances tested.
