Intel Xeon Gold 5117 vs AMD A8-5545M

The Intel Xeon Gold 5117 is a 14 core processor with a clock frequency of 2.00 GHz (2.80 GHz). The processor can compute 28 threads at the same time. The AMD A8-5545M clocks with 1.70 GHz (2.70 GHz), has 4 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 768 GB of memory in a maximum of 6 memory channels is supported by the Intel Xeon Gold 5117, while the AMD A8-5545M supports a maximum of GB of memory with a maximum memory bandwidth of 21.3 GB/s enabled.

The Intel Xeon Gold 5117 has a TDP of 105 W. The TDP of the AMD A8-5545M is 19 W. System integrators use the TDP of the processor as a guide when dimensioning the cooling solution.

The Intel Xeon Gold 5117 has 19.00 MB cache and is manufactured in 14 nm. The cache of AMD A8-5545M is at 4.00 MB. The processor is manufactured in 32 nm.
