AMD EPYC 7252 vs Intel Xeon D-1726

The AMD EPYC 7252 is a 8 core processor with a clock frequency of 3.10 GHz (3.20 GHz). The processor can compute 16 threads at the same time. The Intel Xeon D-1726 clocks with 2.90 GHz (3.50 GHz), has 6 CPU cores and can calculate 12 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 GB of memory in a maximum of 8 memory channels is supported by the AMD EPYC 7252, while the Intel Xeon D-1726 supports a maximum of 384 GB of memory with a maximum memory bandwidth of 70.4 GB/s enabled.

The AMD EPYC 7252 has a TDP of 120 W. The TDP of the Intel Xeon D-1726 is 70 W. System integrators use the TDP of the processor as a guide when dimensioning the cooling solution.

The AMD EPYC 7252 has 64.00 MB cache and is manufactured in 7 nm. The cache of Intel Xeon D-1726 is at 10.00 MB. The processor is manufactured in 10 nm.
