AMD FX-8100 vs AMD EPYC Embedded 3255

AMD FX-8100 or AMD EPYC Embedded 3255 - 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 FX-8100 has 8 cores with 8 threads and clocks with a maximum frequency of 3.70 GHz. Up to GB of memory is supported in 2 memory channels. The AMD FX-8100 was released in Q4/2011.

The AMD EPYC Embedded 3255 has 8 cores with 16 threads and clocks with a maximum frequency of 3.10 GHz. The CPU supports up to 512 GB of memory in 2 memory channels. The AMD EPYC Embedded 3255 was released in Q1/2018.

The AMD FX-8100 has 8 CPU cores and can calculate 8 threads in parallel. The clock frequency of the AMD FX-8100 is 2.80 GHz (3.70 GHz) while the AMD EPYC Embedded 3255 has 8 CPU cores and 16 threads can calculate simultaneously. The clock frequency of the AMD EPYC Embedded 3255 is at 2.50 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 AMD FX-8100 or AMD EPYC Embedded 3255 has integrated graphics, called iGPU for short. The iGPU uses the system's main memory as graphics memory and sits on the processor's die.

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 FX-8100 can use up to GB of memory in 2 memory channels. The maximum memory bandwidth is 29.9 GB/s. The AMD EPYC Embedded 3255 supports up to 512 GB of memory in 2 memory channels and achieves a memory bandwidth of up to 42.7 GB/s.

The thermal design power (TDP for short) of the AMD FX-8100 is 95 W, while the AMD EPYC Embedded 3255 has a TDP of 55 W. The TDP specifies the necessary cooling solution that is required to cool the processor sufficiently.

The AMD FX-8100 is manufactured in 32 nm and has 8.00 MB cache. The AMD EPYC Embedded 3255 is manufactured in 14 nm and has a 20.00 MB cache.
