AMD EPYC 73F3 vs Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 Lite

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 Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 Lite clocks with 1.80 GHz, has 4 CPU cores and can calculate 4 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 Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 Lite supports a maximum of 8 GB of memory with a maximum memory bandwidth of 10.7 GB/s enabled.

The AMD EPYC 73F3 has a TDP of 240 W. The TDP of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 Lite is --. 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 Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 Lite is at 0.00 MB. The processor is manufactured in 14 nm.
