Intel Pentium D1517 vs Intel Xeon Gold 5117F

The Intel Pentium D1517 is a 4 core processor with a clock frequency of 1.60 GHz (2.20 GHz). The processor can compute 8 threads at the same time. The Intel Xeon Gold 5117F clocks with 2.00 GHz (2.80 GHz), has 14 CPU cores and can calculate 28 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 Pentium D1517, while the Intel Xeon Gold 5117F supports a maximum of 768 GB of memory with a maximum memory bandwidth of 115.2 GB/s enabled.

The Intel Pentium D1517 has a TDP of 25 W. The TDP of the Intel Xeon Gold 5117F is 113 W. System integrators use the TDP of the processor as a guide when dimensioning the cooling solution.

The Intel Pentium D1517 has 6.00 MB cache and is manufactured in 14 nm. The cache of Intel Xeon Gold 5117F is at 19.00 MB. The processor is manufactured in 14 nm.
