Intel Atom Z550 vs Intel Xeon Gold 6338N

The Intel Atom Z550 is a 1 core processor with a clock frequency of 2.00 GHz. The processor can compute 1 threads at the same time. The Intel Xeon Gold 6338N clocks with 2.20 GHz (3.50 GHz), has 32 CPU cores and can calculate 64 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 2 GB of memory in a maximum of 0 memory channels is supported by the Intel Atom Z550, while the Intel Xeon Gold 6338N supports a maximum of 6144 GB of memory with a maximum memory bandwidth of 170.8 GB/s enabled.

The Intel Atom Z550 has a TDP of 2.4 W. The TDP of the Intel Xeon Gold 6338N is 185 W. System integrators use the TDP of the processor as a guide when dimensioning the cooling solution.

The Intel Atom Z550 has 0.50 MB cache and is manufactured in 45 nm. The cache of Intel Xeon Gold 6338N is at 48.00 MB. The processor is manufactured in 10 nm.
