Intel Xeon D-2786NTE vs AMD EPYC 9845

Intel Xeon D-2786NTE or AMD EPYC 9845 - 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-2786NTE has 18 cores with 36 threads and clocks with a maximum frequency of 3.10 GHz. Up to 1024 GB of memory is supported in 4 memory channels. The Intel Xeon D-2786NTE was released in Q1/2022.

The AMD EPYC 9845 has 160 cores with 320 threads and clocks with a maximum frequency of 2.00 GHz. The CPU supports up to 6144 GB of memory in 12 memory channels. The AMD EPYC 9845 was released in Q4/2024.

The Intel Xeon D-2786NTE has 18 CPU cores and can calculate 36 threads in parallel. The clock frequency of the Intel Xeon D-2786NTE is 2.10 GHz (3.10 GHz) while the AMD EPYC 9845 has 160 CPU cores and 320 threads can calculate simultaneously. The clock frequency of the AMD EPYC 9845 is at 2.00 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-2786NTE or AMD EPYC 9845 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-2786NTE can use up to 1024 GB of memory in 4 memory channels. The maximum memory bandwidth is 93.8 GB/s. The AMD EPYC 9845 supports up to 6144 GB of memory in 12 memory channels and achieves a memory bandwidth of up to 480.0 GB/s.

The thermal design power (TDP for short) of the Intel Xeon D-2786NTE is 118 W, while the AMD EPYC 9845 has a TDP of 400 W. The TDP specifies the necessary cooling solution that is required to cool the processor sufficiently.

The Intel Xeon D-2786NTE is manufactured in 10 nm and has 27.50 MB cache. The AMD EPYC 9845 is manufactured in 4 nm and has a 320.00 MB cache.
