Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400s vs Intel Xeon w5-2465X

In this CPU comparison, we compare the Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400s and the Intel Xeon w5-2465X and use benchmarks to check which processor is faster.

We compare the Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400s 4 core processor released in Q1/2009 with the Intel Xeon w5-2465X which has 16 CPU cores and was introduced in Q1/2023.

The Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400s is a 4 core processor with a clock frequency of 2.66 GHz. The processor can compute 4 threads at the same time. The Intel Xeon w5-2465X clocks with 3.10 GHz (4.70 GHz), has 16 CPU cores and can calculate 32 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 16 GB of memory in a maximum of 2 memory channels is supported by the Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400s, while the Intel Xeon w5-2465X supports a maximum of 2048 GB of memory with a maximum memory bandwidth of 153.6 GB/s enabled.

The Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400s has a TDP of 65 W. The TDP of the Intel Xeon w5-2465X is 200 W. System integrators use the TDP of the processor as a guide when dimensioning the cooling solution.

The Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400s has 6.00 MB cache and is manufactured in 45 nm. The cache of Intel Xeon w5-2465X is at 33.75 MB. The processor is manufactured in 10 nm.
