Intel Xeon Gold 5222 vs Intel Xeon Gold 6346

The Intel Xeon Gold 5222 is a 4 core processor with a clock frequency of 3.80 GHz (3.90 GHz). The processor can compute 8 threads at the same time. The Intel Xeon Gold 6346 clocks with 3.10 GHz (3.60 GHz), has 16 CPU cores and can calculate 32 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 1024 GB of memory in a maximum of 6 memory channels is supported by the Intel Xeon Gold 5222, while the Intel Xeon Gold 6346 supports a maximum of 6144 GB of memory with a maximum memory bandwidth of 204.8 GB/s enabled.

The Intel Xeon Gold 5222 has a TDP of 105 W. The TDP of the Intel Xeon Gold 6346 is 205 W. System integrators use the TDP of the processor as a guide when dimensioning the cooling solution.

The Intel Xeon Gold 5222 has 16.50 MB cache and is manufactured in 14 nm. The cache of Intel Xeon Gold 6346 is at 36.00 MB. The processor is manufactured in 10 nm.
