AMD EPYC Embedded 3255 vs AMD A8-3800

The AMD EPYC Embedded 3255 is a 8 core processor with a clock frequency of 2.50 GHz (3.10 GHz). The processor can compute 16 threads at the same time. The AMD A8-3800 clocks with 2.40 GHz (2.70 GHz), has 4 CPU cores and can calculate 4 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 512 GB of memory in a maximum of 2 memory channels is supported by the AMD EPYC Embedded 3255, while the AMD A8-3800 supports a maximum of GB of memory with a maximum memory bandwidth of 25.6 GB/s enabled.

The AMD EPYC Embedded 3255 has a TDP of 55 W. The TDP of the AMD A8-3800 is 65 W. System integrators use the TDP of the processor as a guide when dimensioning the cooling solution.

The AMD EPYC Embedded 3255 has 20.00 MB cache and is manufactured in 14 nm. The cache of AMD A8-3800 is at 4.00 MB. The processor is manufactured in 32 nm.
