AMD EPYC 9354 vs Intel Core i9-9990XE

The AMD EPYC 9354 is a 32 core processor with a clock frequency of 3.25 GHz (3.80 GHz). The processor can compute 64 threads at the same time. The Intel Core i9-9990XE clocks with 4.00 GHz (5.10 GHz), has 14 CPU cores and can calculate 28 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 6144 GB of memory in a maximum of 12 memory channels is supported by the AMD EPYC 9354, while the Intel Core i9-9990XE supports a maximum of 128 GB of memory with a maximum memory bandwidth of 85.4 GB/s enabled.

The AMD EPYC 9354 has a TDP of 280 W. The TDP of the Intel Core i9-9990XE is 255 W. System integrators use the TDP of the processor as a guide when dimensioning the cooling solution.

The AMD EPYC 9354 has 288.00 MB cache and is manufactured in 5 nm. The cache of Intel Core i9-9990XE is at 19.25 MB. The processor is manufactured in 14 nm.
