Intel Xeon D-1529 vs AMD EPYC 7473X

The Intel Xeon D-1529 is a 4 core processor with a clock frequency of 1.30 GHz. The processor can compute 8 threads at the same time. The AMD EPYC 7473X clocks with 2.80 GHz (3.70 GHz), has 24 CPU cores and can calculate 48 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 Xeon D-1529, while the AMD EPYC 7473X supports a maximum of 4096 GB of memory with a maximum memory bandwidth of 204.8 GB/s enabled.

The Intel Xeon D-1529 has a TDP of 20 W. The TDP of the AMD EPYC 7473X is 240 W. System integrators use the TDP of the processor as a guide when dimensioning the cooling solution.

The Intel Xeon D-1529 has 6.00 MB cache and is manufactured in 14 nm. The cache of AMD EPYC 7473X is at 800.00 MB. The processor is manufactured in 7 nm.
