Intel Atom C3436L vs Intel Xeon Platinum 8284

In this CPU comparison, we compare the Intel Atom C3436L and the Intel Xeon Platinum 8284 and use benchmarks to check which processor is faster.

We compare the Intel Atom C3436L 4 core processor released in Q2/2020 with the Intel Xeon Platinum 8284 which has 28 CPU cores and was introduced in Q3/2019.

The Intel Atom C3436L is a 4 core processor with a clock frequency of 1.30 GHz. The processor can compute 4 threads at the same time. The Intel Xeon Platinum 8284 clocks with 3.00 GHz (4.00 GHz), has 28 CPU cores and can calculate 56 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 256 GB of memory in a maximum of 1 memory channels is supported by the Intel Atom C3436L, while the Intel Xeon Platinum 8284 supports a maximum of 1024 GB of memory with a maximum memory bandwidth of 140.7 GB/s enabled.

The Intel Atom C3436L has a TDP of 10.75 W. The TDP of the Intel Xeon Platinum 8284 is 240 W. System integrators use the TDP of the processor as a guide when dimensioning the cooling solution.

The Intel Atom C3436L has 8.00 MB cache and is manufactured in 14 nm. The cache of Intel Xeon Platinum 8284 is at 38.50 MB. The processor is manufactured in 14 nm.
