Intel Core i5-1245U vs Intel Xeon Gold 6242R

The Intel Core i5-1245U is a 10 core processor with a clock frequency of 1.60 GHz (4.40 GHz). The processor can compute 12 threads at the same time. The Intel Xeon Gold 6242R clocks with 3.10 GHz (4.10 GHz), has 20 CPU cores and can calculate 40 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 64 GB of memory in a maximum of 4 memory channels is supported by the Intel Core i5-1245U, while the Intel Xeon Gold 6242R supports a maximum of 1024 GB of memory with a maximum memory bandwidth of 140.7 GB/s enabled.

The Intel Core i5-1245U has a TDP of 15 W. The TDP of the Intel Xeon Gold 6242R is 205 W. System integrators use the TDP of the processor as a guide when dimensioning the cooling solution.

The Intel Core i5-1245U has 18.50 MB cache and is manufactured in 10 nm. The cache of Intel Xeon Gold 6242R is at 35.75 MB. The processor is manufactured in 14 nm.
