AMD Ryzen Embedded V2718 vs Intel Atom C3436L

The AMD Ryzen Embedded V2718 is a 8 core processor with a clock frequency of 1.70 GHz (4.15 GHz). The processor can compute 16 threads at the same time. The Intel Atom C3436L clocks with 1.30 GHz, has 4 CPU cores and can calculate 4 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 Ryzen Embedded V2718, while the Intel Atom C3436L supports a maximum of 256 GB of memory with a maximum memory bandwidth of 29.9 GB/s enabled.

The AMD Ryzen Embedded V2718 has a TDP of 15 W. The TDP of the Intel Atom C3436L is 10.75 W. System integrators use the TDP of the processor as a guide when dimensioning the cooling solution.

The AMD Ryzen Embedded V2718 has 12.00 MB cache and is manufactured in 7 nm. The cache of Intel Atom C3436L is at 8.00 MB. The processor is manufactured in 14 nm.
