AMD Phenom II X4 945 vs Intel Xeon Silver 4214Y

The AMD Phenom II X4 945 is a 4 core processor with a clock frequency of 3.00 GHz. The processor can compute 4 threads at the same time. The Intel Xeon Silver 4214Y clocks with 2.20 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 GB of memory in a maximum of 2 memory channels is supported by the AMD Phenom II X4 945, while the Intel Xeon Silver 4214Y supports a maximum of 1024 GB of memory with a maximum memory bandwidth of 115.2 GB/s enabled.

The AMD Phenom II X4 945 has a TDP of 125 W. The TDP of the Intel Xeon Silver 4214Y is 85 W. System integrators use the TDP of the processor as a guide when dimensioning the cooling solution.

The AMD Phenom II X4 945 has 6.00 MB cache and is manufactured in 45 nm. The cache of Intel Xeon Silver 4214Y is at 16.50 MB. The processor is manufactured in 14 nm.
