Intel Xeon D-2146NT vs AMD EPYC Embedded 3251

Intel Xeon D-2146NT or AMD EPYC Embedded 3251 - which processor is faster? In this comparison we look at the differences and analyze which of these two CPUs is better. We compare the technical data and benchmark results.

The Intel Xeon D-2146NT has 8 cores with 16 threads and clocks with a maximum frequency of 3.00 GHz. Up to 512 GB of memory is supported in 4 memory channels. The Intel Xeon D-2146NT was released in Q1/2018.

The AMD EPYC Embedded 3251 has 8 cores with 16 threads and clocks with a maximum frequency of 3.10 GHz. The CPU supports up to GB of memory in 2 memory channels. The AMD EPYC Embedded 3251 was released in Q1/2018.

The Intel Xeon D-2146NT has 8 CPU cores and can calculate 16 threads in parallel. The clock frequency of the Intel Xeon D-2146NT is 2.30 GHz (3.00 GHz) while the AMD EPYC Embedded 3251 has 8 CPU cores and 16 threads can calculate simultaneously. The clock frequency of the AMD EPYC Embedded 3251 is at 2.50 GHz (3.10 GHz).

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.

The Intel Xeon D-2146NT or AMD EPYC Embedded 3251 has integrated graphics, called iGPU for short. The iGPU uses the system's main memory as graphics memory and sits on the processor's die.

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.

The Intel Xeon D-2146NT can use up to 512 GB of memory in 4 memory channels. The maximum memory bandwidth is 68.2 GB/s. The AMD EPYC Embedded 3251 supports up to GB of memory in 2 memory channels and achieves a memory bandwidth of up to 42.7 GB/s.

The thermal design power (TDP for short) of the Intel Xeon D-2146NT is 80 W, while the AMD EPYC Embedded 3251 has a TDP of 55 W. The TDP specifies the necessary cooling solution that is required to cool the processor sufficiently.

The Intel Xeon D-2146NT is manufactured in 14 nm and has 11.00 MB cache. The AMD EPYC Embedded 3251 is manufactured in 14 nm and has a 20.00 MB cache.
