Intel Xeon E-2226GE vs Apple A5X

The Intel Xeon E-2226GE is a 6 core processor with a clock frequency of 3.40 GHz (4.60 GHz). The processor can compute 6 threads at the same time. The Apple A5X clocks with 1.00 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 128 GB of memory in a maximum of 2 memory channels is supported by the Intel Xeon E-2226GE, while the Apple A5X supports a maximum of 1 GB of memory with a maximum memory bandwidth of 12.8 GB/s enabled.

The Intel Xeon E-2226GE has a TDP of 80 W. The TDP of the Apple A5X is --. System integrators use the TDP of the processor as a guide when dimensioning the cooling solution.

The Intel Xeon E-2226GE has 12.00 MB cache and is manufactured in 14 nm. The cache of Apple A5X is at 1.00 MB. The processor is manufactured in 32 nm.
