Intel Pentium Gold 8500 vs AMD GX-215JJ

The Intel Pentium Gold 8500 is a 5 core processor with a clock frequency of 1.00 GHz (4.40 GHz). The processor can compute 6 threads at the same time. The AMD GX-215JJ clocks with 1.50 GHz (2.00 GHz), has 2 CPU cores and can calculate 2 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 2 memory channels is supported by the Intel Pentium Gold 8500, while the AMD GX-215JJ supports a maximum of GB of memory with a maximum memory bandwidth of 15.0 GB/s enabled.

The Intel Pentium Gold 8500 has a TDP of 9 W. The TDP of the AMD GX-215JJ is 6 W. System integrators use the TDP of the processor as a guide when dimensioning the cooling solution.

The Intel Pentium Gold 8500 has 11.25 MB cache and is manufactured in 10 nm. The cache of AMD GX-215JJ is at 1.00 MB. The processor is manufactured in 28 nm.
