AMD EPYC 9255 or Intel Xeon D-2798NT - which processor is faster? In this comparison we look at the differences and analyze which of these two CPUs is better. We compare the technical data and benchmark results.

The AMD EPYC 9255 has 24 cores with 48 threads and clocks with a maximum frequency of 3.30 GHz. Up to 6144 GB of memory is supported in 12 memory channels. The AMD EPYC 9255 was released in Q4/2024.

The Intel Xeon D-2798NT has 20 cores with 40 threads and clocks with a maximum frequency of 3.10 GHz. The CPU supports up to 1024 GB of memory in 4 memory channels. The Intel Xeon D-2798NT was released in Q1/2022.

The AMD EPYC 9255 is a 24 core processor with a clock frequency of 3.30 GHz. The Intel Xeon D-2798NT has 20 CPU cores with a clock frequency of 2.10 GHz (3.10 GHz).

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.

The integrated graphics unit of a processor is not only responsible for the pure image output on the system, but can also significantly increase the efficiency of the system with the support of modern video codecs.

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.

The AMD EPYC 9255 supports a maximum of 6144 GB of memory in 12 memory channels. The Intel Xeon D-2798NT can connect up to 1024 GB of memory in 4 memory channels.

The TDP (Thermal Design Power) of a processor specifies the required cooling solution. The AMD EPYC 9255 has a TDP of 200 W, that of the Intel Xeon D-2798NT is 125 W.

The AMD EPYC 9255 has a 96.00 MB cache, while the Intel Xeon D-2798NT cache has a total of 30.00 MB.
