Intel Xeon Gold 6130 vs AMD EPYC 7281

Intel Xeon Gold 6130 or AMD EPYC 7281 - which processor is faster? In this comparison we look at the differences and analyze which of these two CPUs is better. We compare the technical data and benchmark results.

The Intel Xeon Gold 6130 has 16 cores with 32 threads and clocks with a maximum frequency of 3.70 GHz. Up to 768 GB of memory is supported in 6 memory channels. The Intel Xeon Gold 6130 was released in Q3/2017.

The AMD EPYC 7281 has 16 cores with 32 threads and clocks with a maximum frequency of 2.70 GHz. The CPU supports up to GB of memory in 8 memory channels. The AMD EPYC 7281 was released in Q3/2017.

The Intel Xeon Gold 6130 has 16 CPU cores and can calculate 32 threads in parallel. The clock frequency of the Intel Xeon Gold 6130 is 2.10 GHz (3.70 GHz) while the AMD EPYC 7281 has 16 CPU cores and 32 threads can calculate simultaneously. The clock frequency of the AMD EPYC 7281 is at 2.20 GHz (2.70 GHz).

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.

The Intel Xeon Gold 6130 or AMD EPYC 7281 has integrated graphics, called iGPU for short. The iGPU uses the system's main memory as graphics memory and sits on the processor's die.

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.

The Intel Xeon Gold 6130 can use up to 768 GB of memory in 6 memory channels. The maximum memory bandwidth is 128.1 GB/s. The AMD EPYC 7281 supports up to GB of memory in 8 memory channels and achieves a memory bandwidth of up to 170.6 GB/s.

The thermal design power (TDP for short) of the Intel Xeon Gold 6130 is 125 W, while the AMD EPYC 7281 has a TDP of 170 W. The TDP specifies the necessary cooling solution that is required to cool the processor sufficiently.

The Intel Xeon Gold 6130 is manufactured in 14 nm and has 22.00 MB cache. The AMD EPYC 7281 is manufactured in 14 nm and has a 32.00 MB cache.
