Intel Xeon Gold 6142M vs Intel Xeon Platinum 8180M

In this CPU comparison, we compare the Intel Xeon Gold 6142M and the Intel Xeon Platinum 8180M and use benchmarks to check which processor is faster.

We compare the Intel Xeon Gold 6142M 16 core processor released in Q3/2017 with the Intel Xeon Platinum 8180M which has 28 CPU cores and was introduced in Q3/2017.

The Intel Xeon Gold 6142M is a 16 core processor with a clock frequency of 2.60 GHz (3.70 GHz). The processor can compute 32 threads at the same time. The Intel Xeon Platinum 8180M clocks with 2.50 GHz (3.80 GHz), has 28 CPU cores and can calculate 56 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 1536 GB of memory in a maximum of 6 memory channels is supported by the Intel Xeon Gold 6142M, while the Intel Xeon Platinum 8180M supports a maximum of 1536 GB of memory with a maximum memory bandwidth of 128.1 GB/s enabled.

The Intel Xeon Gold 6142M has a TDP of 150 W. The TDP of the Intel Xeon Platinum 8180M is 205 W. System integrators use the TDP of the processor as a guide when dimensioning the cooling solution.

The Intel Xeon Gold 6142M has 22.00 MB cache and is manufactured in 14 nm. The cache of Intel Xeon Platinum 8180M is at 39.00 MB. The processor is manufactured in 14 nm.
