AMD FX-9830P vs Intel Xeon E7-4860 v2

The AMD FX-9830P is a 4 core processor with a clock frequency of 3.00 GHz (3.70 GHz). The processor can compute 4 threads at the same time. The Intel Xeon E7-4860 v2 clocks with 2.60 GHz (3.20 GHz), has 12 CPU cores and can calculate 24 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 64 GB of memory in a maximum of 2 memory channels is supported by the AMD FX-9830P, while the Intel Xeon E7-4860 v2 supports a maximum of 1536 GB of memory with a maximum memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s enabled.

The AMD FX-9830P has a TDP of 35 W. The TDP of the Intel Xeon E7-4860 v2 is 130 W. System integrators use the TDP of the processor as a guide when dimensioning the cooling solution.

The AMD FX-9830P has 2.00 MB cache and is manufactured in 28 nm. The cache of Intel Xeon E7-4860 v2 is at 30.00 MB. The processor is manufactured in 22 nm.
