Intel Xeon Gold 6238M vs Intel Xeon E7-4870 v2

In this CPU comparison, we compare the Intel Xeon Gold 6238M and the Intel Xeon E7-4870 v2 and use benchmarks to check which processor is faster.

We compare the Intel Xeon Gold 6238M 22 core processor released in Q2/2019 with the Intel Xeon E7-4870 v2 which has 15 CPU cores and was introduced in Q1/2014.

The Intel Xeon Gold 6238M is a 22 core processor with a clock frequency of 2.10 GHz (3.70 GHz). The processor can compute 44 threads at the same time. The Intel Xeon E7-4870 v2 clocks with 2.30 GHz (2.90 GHz), has 15 CPU cores and can calculate 30 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 GB of memory in a maximum of 6 memory channels is supported by the Intel Xeon Gold 6238M, while the Intel Xeon E7-4870 v2 supports a maximum of 1536 GB of memory with a maximum memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s enabled.

The Intel Xeon Gold 6238M has a TDP of 140 W. The TDP of the Intel Xeon E7-4870 v2 is 130 W. System integrators use the TDP of the processor as a guide when dimensioning the cooling solution.

The Intel Xeon Gold 6238M has 30.25 MB cache and is manufactured in 14 nm. The cache of Intel Xeon E7-4870 v2 is at 30.00 MB. The processor is manufactured in 22 nm.
