Intel Xeon Gold 5318N vs Intel Xeon Gold 5220T

In this CPU comparison, we compare the Intel Xeon Gold 5318N and the Intel Xeon Gold 5220T and use benchmarks to check which processor is faster.

We compare the Intel Xeon Gold 5318N 24 core processor released in Q2/2021 with the Intel Xeon Gold 5220T which has 18 CPU cores and was introduced in Q2/2019.

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 Xeon Gold 5220T clocks with 1.90 GHz (3.90 GHz), has 18 CPU cores and can calculate 36 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 6144 GB of memory in a maximum of 8 memory channels is supported by the Intel Xeon Gold 5318N, while the Intel Xeon Gold 5220T supports a maximum of 1024 GB of memory with a maximum memory bandwidth of 128.1 GB/s enabled.

The Intel Xeon Gold 5318N has a TDP of 150 W. The TDP of the Intel Xeon Gold 5220T is 105 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 Xeon Gold 5220T is at 24.75 MB. The processor is manufactured in 14 nm.
