AMD EPYC 9734 vs Intel Xeon D-1529

AMD EPYC 9734 or Intel Xeon D-1529 - 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 9734 has 112 cores with 224 threads and clocks with a maximum frequency of 3.00 GHz. Up to 6144 GB of memory is supported in 12 memory channels. The AMD EPYC 9734 was released in Q2/2023.

The Intel Xeon D-1529 has 4 cores with 8 threads and clocks with a maximum frequency of 1.30 GHz. The CPU supports up to 128 GB of memory in 2 memory channels. The Intel Xeon D-1529 was released in Q3/2017.

The AMD EPYC 9734 is a 112 core processor with a clock frequency of 2.20 GHz (3.00 GHz). The Intel Xeon D-1529 has 4 CPU cores with a clock frequency of 1.30 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 9734 supports a maximum of 6144 GB of memory in 12 memory channels. The Intel Xeon D-1529 can connect up to 128 GB of memory in 2 memory channels.

The TDP (Thermal Design Power) of a processor specifies the required cooling solution. The AMD EPYC 9734 has a TDP of 340 W, that of the Intel Xeon D-1529 is 20 W.

The AMD EPYC 9734 has a 256.00 MB cache, while the Intel Xeon D-1529 cache has a total of 6.00 MB.
