Intel Atom N2600 vs Intel Xeon E5-2608L v3

The Intel Atom N2600 is a 2 core processor with a clock frequency of 1.60 GHz. The processor can compute 4 threads at the same time. The Intel Xeon E5-2608L v3 clocks with 2.00 GHz, has 6 CPU cores and can calculate 12 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 GB of memory in a maximum of 1 memory channels is supported by the Intel Atom N2600, while the Intel Xeon E5-2608L v3 supports a maximum of 768 GB of memory with a maximum memory bandwidth of 68.2 GB/s enabled.

The Intel Atom N2600 has a TDP of 3.5 W. The TDP of the Intel Xeon E5-2608L v3 is 52 W. System integrators use the TDP of the processor as a guide when dimensioning the cooling solution.

The Intel Atom N2600 has 1.00 MB cache and is manufactured in 32 nm. The cache of Intel Xeon E5-2608L v3 is at 15.00 MB. The processor is manufactured in 22 nm.
