AMD Athlon II X4 620e vs AMD EPYC 9634

The AMD Athlon II X4 620e is a 4 core processor with a clock frequency of 2.60 GHz. The processor can compute 4 threads at the same time. The AMD EPYC 9634 clocks with 2.25 GHz (3.70 GHz), has 84 CPU cores and can calculate 168 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 16 GB of memory in a maximum of 2 memory channels is supported by the AMD Athlon II X4 620e, while the AMD EPYC 9634 supports a maximum of 6144 GB of memory with a maximum memory bandwidth of 460.8 GB/s enabled.

The AMD Athlon II X4 620e has a TDP of 45 W. The TDP of the AMD EPYC 9634 is 290 W. System integrators use the TDP of the processor as a guide when dimensioning the cooling solution.

The AMD Athlon II X4 620e has 2.00 MB cache and is manufactured in 45 nm. The cache of AMD EPYC 9634 is at 468.00 MB. The processor is manufactured in 5 nm.
