AMD Ryzen Z1 vs Intel Xeon Silver 4215R

The AMD Ryzen Z1 is a 6 core processor with a clock frequency of 3.50 GHz (4.90 GHz). The processor can compute 12 threads at the same time. The Intel Xeon Silver 4215R clocks with 3.20 GHz (4.00 GHz), has 8 CPU cores and can calculate 16 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 256 GB of memory in a maximum of 2 memory channels is supported by the AMD Ryzen Z1, while the Intel Xeon Silver 4215R supports a maximum of 1024 GB of memory with a maximum memory bandwidth of 115.2 GB/s enabled.

The AMD Ryzen Z1 has a TDP of 15 W. The TDP of the Intel Xeon Silver 4215R is 130 W. System integrators use the TDP of the processor as a guide when dimensioning the cooling solution.

The AMD Ryzen Z1 has 22.00 MB cache and is manufactured in 4 nm. The cache of Intel Xeon Silver 4215R is at 11.00 MB. The processor is manufactured in 14 nm.
