AMD EPYC 9474F vs Intel Xeon Platinum 8356H

The AMD EPYC 9474F is a 48 core processor with a clock frequency of 3.60 GHz (4.10 GHz). The processor can compute 96 threads at the same time. The Intel Xeon Platinum 8356H clocks with 3.90 GHz (4.40 GHz), has 8 CPU cores and can calculate 16 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 9474F, while the Intel Xeon Platinum 8356H supports a maximum of 1146 GB of memory with a maximum memory bandwidth of 140.7 GB/s enabled.

The AMD EPYC 9474F has a TDP of 360 W. The TDP of the Intel Xeon Platinum 8356H is 190 W. System integrators use the TDP of the processor as a guide when dimensioning the cooling solution.

The AMD EPYC 9474F has 304.00 MB cache and is manufactured in 5 nm. The cache of Intel Xeon Platinum 8356H is at 35.75 MB. The processor is manufactured in 14 nm.
