Intel Core i5-12490F vs Intel Xeon w3-2423

The Intel Core i5-12490F is a 6 core processor with a clock frequency of 3.00 GHz (4.60 GHz). The processor can compute 12 threads at the same time. The Intel Xeon w3-2423 clocks with 2.10 GHz (4.20 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 128 GB of memory in a maximum of 2 memory channels is supported by the Intel Core i5-12490F, while the Intel Xeon w3-2423 supports a maximum of 2048 GB of memory with a maximum memory bandwidth of 140.8 GB/s enabled.

The Intel Core i5-12490F has a TDP of 65 W. The TDP of the Intel Xeon w3-2423 is 120 W. System integrators use the TDP of the processor as a guide when dimensioning the cooling solution.

The Intel Core i5-12490F has 25.50 MB cache and is manufactured in 10 nm. The cache of Intel Xeon w3-2423 is at 15.00 MB. The processor is manufactured in 10 nm.
