AMD A9-9420e vs Intel Xeon E-2278GEL

The AMD A9-9420e is a 2 core processor with a clock frequency of 1.80 GHz (2.70 GHz). The processor can compute 2 threads at the same time. The Intel Xeon E-2278GEL clocks with 2.00 GHz (3.90 GHz), has 8 CPU cores and can calculate 16 threads in parallel.

Processors with the support of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) can process many calculations, especially audio, image and video processing, much faster than classic processors. Algorithms for ML improve their performance the more data they have collected via software. ML tasks can be processed up to 10,000 times faster than with a classic processor.

Graphics (iGPU) integrated into the processor not only enable image output without having to rely on a dedicated graphics solution, but can also efficiently accelerate video playback.

A photo or video codec that is accelerated in hardware can greatly accelerate the working speed of a processor and extend the battery life of notebooks or smartphones when playing videos.

Up to 8 GB of memory in a maximum of 1 memory channels is supported by the AMD A9-9420e, while the Intel Xeon E-2278GEL supports a maximum of 128 GB of memory with a maximum memory bandwidth of 42.7 GB/s enabled.

The AMD A9-9420e has a TDP of 6 W. The TDP of the Intel Xeon E-2278GEL is 35 W. System integrators use the TDP of the processor as a guide when dimensioning the cooling solution.

The AMD A9-9420e has 2.00 MB cache and is manufactured in 28 nm. The cache of Intel Xeon E-2278GEL is at 16.00 MB. The processor is manufactured in 14 nm.
