Abstract
The Lenovo ThinkSystem SR655 V3 has set eight performance world records for compute-intensive applications with new results of the SPEC CPU2017 benchmark.
This document summarizes the the SPEC CPU2017 benchmark result for the ThinkSystem SR655 V3 that was published on July 1, 2023. The document lists the result, summarizes the major components of the configuration under test, and provides the link to the relevant benchmark organization’s web site for details about the result.
Introduction
The Lenovo ThinkSystem SR655 V3 server has set eight performance world records for compute-intensive applications with new results of the SPEC CPU2017 benchmark.
The benchmark world records are:
- Best SPECspeed2017_fp_energy_base score on a 1-processor system
- Best SPECspeed2017_fp_energy_base score
- Best SPECspeed2017_fp_energy_peak score on a 1-processor system
- Best SPECspeed2017_fp_energy_peak score
- Best SPECrate2017_int_energy_base score on a 1-processor system
- Best SPECrate2017_int_energy_peak score on a 1-processor system
- Best SPECrate2017_fp_energy_base score on a 1-processor system
- Best SPECrate2017_fp_energy_peak score on a 1-processor system
These new benchmark results, published in new SPEC reports on July 1, 2023, demonstrate that the ThinkSystem SR655 V3 continues Lenovo’s leadership with outstanding performance for the server industry.
The eight world records were achieved with the following six top SPEC CPU2017 scores:
- SPECspeed2017_fp_energy_base: 1010 (1,2)
- SPECspeed2017_fp_energy_peak: 1020 (3,4)
- SPECrate2017_int_energy_base: 2210 (5)
- SPECrate2017_int_energy_peak: 2350 (6)
- SPECrate2017_fp_energy_base: 1970 (7)
- SPECrate2017_fp_energy_peak: 2050 (8)
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 SR655 V3 server was configured as follows:
- 1x AMD EPYC 9754 "Bergamo" processor - 128 cores, 2.25 GHz, 256 MB L3 cache per processor
- 384 GB system memory
- SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP4
The results are current as of July 1, 2023. To view details of the results, see the following SPEC web pages:

About SPEC CPU2017
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.
