Intel Xeon Gold 6234 vs Intel Xeon w3-2425

In this CPU comparison, we compare the Intel Xeon Gold 6234 and the Intel Xeon w3-2425 and use benchmarks to check which processor is faster.

We compare the Intel Xeon Gold 6234 8 core processor released in Q2/2019 with the Intel Xeon w3-2425 which has 6 CPU cores and was introduced in Q1/2023.

The Intel Xeon Gold 6234 is a 8 core processor with a clock frequency of 3.30 GHz (4.00 GHz). The processor can compute 16 threads at the same time. The Intel Xeon w3-2425 clocks with 3.00 GHz (4.40 GHz), has 6 CPU cores and can calculate 12 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 1024 GB of memory in a maximum of 6 memory channels is supported by the Intel Xeon Gold 6234, while the Intel Xeon w3-2425 supports a maximum of 2048 GB of memory with a maximum memory bandwidth of 140.8 GB/s enabled.

The Intel Xeon Gold 6234 has a TDP of 130 W. The TDP of the Intel Xeon w3-2425 is 130 W. System integrators use the TDP of the processor as a guide when dimensioning the cooling solution.

The Intel Xeon Gold 6234 has 24.75 MB cache and is manufactured in 14 nm. The cache of Intel Xeon w3-2425 is at 15.00 MB. The processor is manufactured in 10 nm.
