Intel Xeon Gold 5318H vs Intel Atom Z2580

In this CPU comparison, we compare the Intel Xeon Gold 5318H and the Intel Atom Z2580 and use benchmarks to check which processor is faster.

We compare the Intel Xeon Gold 5318H 18 core processor released in Q2/2020 with the Intel Atom Z2580 which has 2 CPU cores and was introduced in Q2/2013.

The Intel Xeon Gold 5318H is a 18 core processor with a clock frequency of 2.50 GHz (3.80 GHz). The processor can compute 36 threads at the same time. The Intel Atom Z2580 clocks with 2.00 GHz, has 2 CPU cores and can calculate 4 threads in parallel.

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.

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 1146 GB of memory in a maximum of 6 memory channels is supported by the Intel Xeon Gold 5318H, while the Intel Atom Z2580 supports a maximum of 2 GB of memory with a maximum memory bandwidth of 8.5 GB/s enabled.

The Intel Xeon Gold 5318H has a TDP of 150 W. The TDP of the Intel Atom Z2580 is --. System integrators use the TDP of the processor as a guide when dimensioning the cooling solution.

The Intel Xeon Gold 5318H has 24.75 MB cache and is manufactured in 14 nm. The cache of Intel Atom Z2580 is at 1.00 MB. The processor is manufactured in 32 nm.
