• Best SPECrate2017_fp_energy_peak score on a 2-processor system
• Best SPECrate2017_fp_energy_peak score

These new benchmark results, published in new SPEC reports on June 13, 2023, demonstrate that the ThinkSystem SR665 V3 continues Lenovo’s leadership with outstanding performance for the server industry.

The ThinkSystem SR665 V3 has achieved the following scores:

• SPECspeed2017_fp_energy_base: 766 (1)
• SPECspeed2017_fp_energy_base: 799 (2)
• SPECrate2017_int_energy_base: 2290 (3,4)
• SPECrate2017_int_energy_peak: 2440 (5,6)
• SPECrate2017_fp_energy_base: 2110 (7,8)
• SPECrate2017_fp_energy_peak: 2180 (9,10)

SPECspeed2017 scores are ideal for measuring single-threaded compute-intensive applications, such as High Frequency Trading (HFT) and other financial industry workloads.

SPECrate2017 scores are ideal for measuring multi-threaded compute-intensive applications, such as High Performance Computing (HPC) workloads.

The Lenovo ThinkSystem SR665 V3 server was configured as follows:

• 2x AMD EPYC 9754 "Bergamo" processors - 128 cores, 2.25 GHz, 256 MB L3 cache per processor
• 768 GB system memory
• SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP4

SPEC CPU 2017 is SPEC's next-generation, industry-standardized, CPU intensive suite of benchmarks for measuring and comparing compute intensive performance, stressing a system's processor, memory subsystem and compiler. This benchmarks provides a comparative measure of compute-intensive performance using workloads developed from real user applications.

The SPEC CPU 2017 benchmark suite measures server performance in the following ways:

• SPECspeed 2017 is to compare time for a computer to complete single tasks
• SPECrate 2017 is to measure the throughput or work per unit of time.

This benchmark is targeted for use by hardware vendors, IT industry, computer manufacturers, and government.
