Choosing Intel® Xeon® Processors for Ansys Fluent Workloads

Organizations that use Ansys Fluent to model computational fluid dynamics (CFD) need highly performant processors. We tested a range of Intel® and AMD processors against the latest Ansys Fluent benchmarks.

Intel® Xeon® 6 processors with Performance-cores deliver a significant improvement in performance over 4th Gen and 5th Gen Intel® Xeon® processors, in both multicore and single-core configurations.

  • Intel® Xeon® 6980P processors outperform other Intel processors we tested across all benchmarks, except for some larger model sizes
  • Intel® Xeon® 6960P processor delivers the best single-core performance for Ansys Fluent, compared to other Intel processors we tested.
  • Intel Xeon 6 processors with 128 and 96 cores deliver higher performance than AMD EPYC processors of the same core count, across most benchmarks tested, and across all of the larger model sizes.
