If I use 2 xeon 6148 cpus in 2 socket  of one mainboard (asus WS C621E)

Question: 2 cpus are faster than 1 cpu?

Dear stone, jesse

 As to your question:

Question: 2 cpus are faster than 1 cpu?

Not necessarily. And this is true regardless of whether you use an ARM, Intel or AMD or whatever. Optimal CPU performance depends upon how you implement your application, i.e. whether it's designed with task or instruction-level parallelism in mind.

Hope it helps,

Thanks,

if use openvino mkldnn async method  2 cpus are faster than 1 cpu?

[Shubha_R_Intel]

Dear stone, jesse,

If the number of async infer requests in flight are higher than the number of idle logical cores on 1 CPU, then in this case, yes 2 CPUs will probably be better.

Thanks,
