AMD EPYC 73F3 vs Intel Xeon Gold 6222

The AMD EPYC 73F3 is a 16 core processor with a clock frequency of 3.50 GHz (4.00 GHz). The processor can compute 32 threads at the same time. The Intel Xeon Gold 6222 clocks with 1.80 GHz (3.60 GHz), has 20 CPU cores and can calculate 40 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 4096 GB of memory in a maximum of 8 memory channels is supported by the AMD EPYC 73F3, while the Intel Xeon Gold 6222 supports a maximum of 1024 GB of memory with a maximum memory bandwidth of 115.2 GB/s enabled.

The AMD EPYC 73F3 has a TDP of 240 W. The TDP of the Intel Xeon Gold 6222 is 115 W. System integrators use the TDP of the processor as a guide when dimensioning the cooling solution.

The AMD EPYC 73F3 has 256.00 MB cache and is manufactured in 7 nm. The cache of Intel Xeon Gold 6222 is at 27.50 MB. The processor is manufactured in 14 nm.
