Intel Xeon E7-4890 v2 vs Intel Atom S1260

The Intel Xeon E7-4890 v2 is a 15 core processor with a clock frequency of 2.80 GHz (3.40 GHz). The processor can compute 30 threads at the same time. The Intel Atom S1260 clocks with 2.00 GHz, has 2 CPU cores and can calculate 4 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 1536 GB of memory in a maximum of 4 memory channels is supported by the Intel Xeon E7-4890 v2, while the Intel Atom S1260 supports a maximum of 8 GB of memory with a maximum memory bandwidth of 10.6 GB/s enabled.

The Intel Xeon E7-4890 v2 has a TDP of 155 W. The TDP of the Intel Atom S1260 is 8.5 W. System integrators use the TDP of the processor as a guide when dimensioning the cooling solution.

The Intel Xeon E7-4890 v2 has 38.00 MB cache and is manufactured in 22 nm. The cache of Intel Atom S1260 is at 1.00 MB. The processor is manufactured in 32 nm.
