AMD Ryzen Embedded 5800E vs Intel Xeon Gold 6240R

In this CPU comparison, we compare the AMD Ryzen Embedded 5800E and the Intel Xeon Gold 6240R and use benchmarks to check which processor is faster.

We compare the AMD Ryzen Embedded 5800E 8 core processor released in Q2/2023 with the Intel Xeon Gold 6240R which has 24 CPU cores and was introduced in Q1/2020.

The AMD Ryzen Embedded 5800E is a 8 core processor with a clock frequency of 3.40 GHz (3.70 GHz). The processor can compute 16 threads at the same time. The Intel Xeon Gold 6240R clocks with 2.40 GHz (4.00 GHz), has 24 CPU cores and can calculate 48 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 128 GB of memory in a maximum of 2 memory channels is supported by the AMD Ryzen Embedded 5800E, while the Intel Xeon Gold 6240R supports a maximum of 1024 GB of memory with a maximum memory bandwidth of 140.7 GB/s enabled.

The AMD Ryzen Embedded 5800E has a TDP of 100 W. The TDP of the Intel Xeon Gold 6240R is 165 W. System integrators use the TDP of the processor as a guide when dimensioning the cooling solution.

The AMD Ryzen Embedded 5800E has 36.00 MB cache and is manufactured in 7 nm. The cache of Intel Xeon Gold 6240R is at 38.50 MB. The processor is manufactured in 14 nm.
