Intel Xeon Gold 5318N vs Intel Atom Z550

The Intel Xeon Gold 5318N is a 24 core processor with a clock frequency of 2.10 GHz (3.40 GHz). The processor can compute 48 threads at the same time. The Intel Atom Z550 clocks with 2.00 GHz, has 1 CPU cores and can calculate 1 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 6144 GB of memory in a maximum of 8 memory channels is supported by the Intel Xeon Gold 5318N, while the Intel Atom Z550 supports a maximum of 2 GB of memory with a maximum memory bandwidth of -- enabled.

The Intel Xeon Gold 5318N has a TDP of 150 W. The TDP of the Intel Atom Z550 is 2.4 W. System integrators use the TDP of the processor as a guide when dimensioning the cooling solution.

The Intel Xeon Gold 5318N has 36.00 MB cache and is manufactured in 10 nm. The cache of Intel Atom Z550 is at 0.50 MB. The processor is manufactured in 45 nm.
