Intel Core Ultra 7 165UL vs Intel Xeon E-2254ME

In this CPU comparison, we compare the Intel Core Ultra 7 165UL and the Intel Xeon E-2254ME and use benchmarks to check which processor is faster.

We compare the Intel Core Ultra 7 165UL 12 core processor released in Q2/2024 with the Intel Xeon E-2254ME which has 4 CPU cores and was introduced in Q2/2019.

The Intel Core Ultra 7 165UL is a 12 core processor with a clock frequency of 1.70 GHz (4.90 GHz). The processor can compute 14 threads at the same time. The Intel Xeon E-2254ME clocks with 2.60 GHz (3.80 GHz), has 4 CPU cores and can calculate 8 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 96 GB of memory in a maximum of 2 memory channels is supported by the Intel Core Ultra 7 165UL, while the Intel Xeon E-2254ME supports a maximum of 64 GB of memory with a maximum memory bandwidth of 42.7 GB/s enabled.

The Intel Core Ultra 7 165UL has a TDP of 15 W. The TDP of the Intel Xeon E-2254ME is 45 W. System integrators use the TDP of the processor as a guide when dimensioning the cooling solution.

The Intel Core Ultra 7 165UL has 12.00 MB cache and is manufactured in 7 nm. The cache of Intel Xeon E-2254ME is at 8.00 MB. The processor is manufactured in 14 nm.
