AMD EPYC 8434PN vs Intel Xeon Gold 6222

In this CPU comparison, we compare the AMD EPYC 8434PN and the Intel Xeon Gold 6222 and use benchmarks to check which processor is faster.

We compare the AMD EPYC 8434PN 48 core processor released in Q3/2023 with the Intel Xeon Gold 6222 which has 20 CPU cores and was introduced in Q2/2019.

The AMD EPYC 8434PN is a 48 core processor with a clock frequency of 2.00 GHz (3.00 GHz). The processor can compute 96 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.

The performance values of the processor's AI unit. The isolated NPU performance is specified here, the total AI performance (NPU+CPU+iGPU) can be higher. Processors with support for artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) can process many calculations, especially audio, image and video processing, much faster than classic processors.

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 6 memory channels is supported by the AMD EPYC 8434PN, 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 8434PN has a TDP of 155 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 8434PN has 128.00 MB cache and is manufactured in 5 nm. The cache of Intel Xeon Gold 6222 is at 27.50 MB. The processor is manufactured in 14 nm.
