Intel Xeon Gold 6238M vs Intel Xeon Platinum 8284

In this CPU comparison, we compare the Intel Xeon Gold 6238M and the Intel Xeon Platinum 8284 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 Platinum 8284 which has 28 CPU cores and was introduced in Q3/2019.

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 Platinum 8284 clocks with 3.00 GHz (4.00 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 GB of memory in a maximum of 6 memory channels is supported by the Intel Xeon Gold 6238M, while the Intel Xeon Platinum 8284 supports a maximum of 1024 GB of memory with a maximum memory bandwidth of 140.7 GB/s enabled.

The Intel Xeon Gold 6238M has a TDP of 140 W. The TDP of the Intel Xeon Platinum 8284 is 240 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 Platinum 8284 is at 38.50 MB. The processor is manufactured in 14 nm.
