Two AMD Epyc 7742 CPUs: Bruno sets absolute record in Cinebench R15 and HWBOT x265 benchmark
Overclocker Bruno sets absolute records in Cinebench R15 and HWBOT x265 benchmark 4K with two AMD Epyc 7742 processors.
To set an absolute record in both Cinebench R15 and HWBOT x265 Benchmark 4K, your test rig needs to pack some serious punch: 1 terabyte of DDR4 memory, 128 cores, and 256 threads.
Romanian overclocker Bruno managed to get his hands on two brand-new, 7-nanometer, 64-core, 128-thread AMD Epyc 7742 processors. He then absolutely crushed the competition, bagging two gold medals at once:
⤢ ВІДКРИТИ
⤢ ВІДКРИТИ
⤢ ВІДКРИТИ

To say Bruno made a mark would be an understatement.
It's debatable whether using incredibly expensive (over $10,000 per CPU) server processors in an overclocking competition is entirely fair. However, the enthusiast deserves credit; getting access to such high-end hardware, let alone using it for something other than its intended purpose, isn't something many can pull off.
Details about the server itself are scarce. The only components confirmed are a Gigabyte MZ92-FS0-00 motherboard and 1TB of unspecified RAM. It's plausible they used 64GB sticks, with eight slots per processor totaling 1024GB.
