Figure 21 : Performance difference between Intel Xeon-4116 & Intel Xeon-6148 in C4140-M
As you notice in
Figure 21
,
there is a slight performance difference for most of the neural
models when using Intel Xeon 6148 except for AlexNet where it shows almost doubling
in performance.
There are quite a few in-depth articles in showing the architecture for AlexNet and at
some later point we will try to explain why AlexNet behaves differently based on the
number of CPU cores and frequency.
