Incoherence between Test Suite results and single thread rating

[JuanCruzCarrau]

Hi!

So recently I have been comparing the Intel Xeon Platinum 8280L and the Intel Xeon Gold 5215, and while doing so found out that the Gold's single thread rating is higher than the Platinum's. However, should one enter to see each CPU's specs on their own, one can see the Platinum can make more operations per second than the Gold. How is this possible?

I'll leave the links for the comparison, and each CPU's page:

https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php....50GHz&id=3620
https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php....70GHz&id=3662

If anyone could give me an answer I would be so grateful!

Single threaded they are very close.
Multi-threaded the Platinum is better because it has more cores. (28 cores vs 10 cores). Even more so if you compare a system with dual Platinums to a single Gold CPU.
