The Zen 4 Threadripper processors with AVX-512 also meant a much better job at handling AI worklaods such as those using the Intel oneDNN neural network software.

For TensorFlow the Intel Sapphire Rapids processors came out ahead thanks to the Advanced Matrix Extensions (AMX) support here. For software ready to make use of AMX, some strong gains can be found on the Sapphire Rapids side. At least generationally the new Threadripper 7000 series is much better off thanks to AVX-512 added with Zen 4.

QuantLib benchmark with settings of Configuration: Multi-Threaded. Threadripper 7980X was the fastest.
