AMD RX-421ND vs Intel Xeon Gold 6238T

In this CPU comparison, we compare the AMD RX-421ND and the Intel Xeon Gold 6238T and use benchmarks to check which processor is faster.

We compare the AMD RX-421ND 4 core processor released in Q4/2015 with the Intel Xeon Gold 6238T which has 22 CPU cores and was introduced in Q2/2019.

The AMD RX-421ND is a 4 core processor with a clock frequency of 2.10 GHz (3.40 GHz). The processor can compute 4 threads at the same time. The Intel Xeon Gold 6238T clocks with 1.90 GHz (3.70 GHz), has 22 CPU cores and can calculate 44 threads in parallel.

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.

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 RX-421ND, while the Intel Xeon Gold 6238T supports a maximum of 1024 GB of memory with a maximum memory bandwidth of 140.7 GB/s enabled.

The AMD RX-421ND has a TDP of 35 W. The TDP of the Intel Xeon Gold 6238T is 125 W. System integrators use the TDP of the processor as a guide when dimensioning the cooling solution.

The AMD RX-421ND has 2.00 MB cache and is manufactured in 28 nm. The cache of Intel Xeon Gold 6238T is at 30.25 MB. The processor is manufactured in 14 nm.
