Intel Xeon Gold 6209U vs AMD EPYC 9554P

Intel Xeon Gold 6209U or AMD EPYC 9554P - 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 6209U has 20 cores with 40 threads and clocks with a maximum frequency of 3.90 GHz. Up to 1024 GB of memory is supported in 6 memory channels. The Intel Xeon Gold 6209U was released in Q2/2019.

The AMD EPYC 9554P has 64 cores with 128 threads and clocks with a maximum frequency of 3.75 GHz. The CPU supports up to 6144 GB of memory in 12 memory channels. The AMD EPYC 9554P was released in Q4/2022.

The Intel Xeon Gold 6209U has 20 CPU cores and can calculate 40 threads in parallel. The clock frequency of the Intel Xeon Gold 6209U is 2.10 GHz (3.90 GHz) while the AMD EPYC 9554P has 64 CPU cores and 128 threads can calculate simultaneously. The clock frequency of the AMD EPYC 9554P is at 3.10 GHz (3.75 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 6209U or AMD EPYC 9554P 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 6209U can use up to 1024 GB of memory in 6 memory channels. The maximum memory bandwidth is 140.7 GB/s. The AMD EPYC 9554P supports up to 6144 GB of memory in 12 memory channels and achieves a memory bandwidth of up to 460.8 GB/s.

The thermal design power (TDP for short) of the Intel Xeon Gold 6209U is 125 W, while the AMD EPYC 9554P has a TDP of 360 W. The TDP specifies the necessary cooling solution that is required to cool the processor sufficiently.

The Intel Xeon Gold 6209U is manufactured in 14 nm and has 27.50 MB cache. The AMD EPYC 9554P is manufactured in 5 nm and has a 320.00 MB cache.
