Intel Xeon Gold 6246R vs AMD EPYC 9554P

The Intel Xeon Gold 6246R is a 16 core processor with a clock frequency of 3.40 GHz (4.10 GHz). The processor can compute 32 threads at the same time. The AMD EPYC 9554P clocks with 3.10 GHz (3.75 GHz), has 64 CPU cores and can calculate 128 threads in parallel.

Processors with the support of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) can process many calculations, especially audio, image and video processing, much faster than classic processors. Algorithms for ML improve their performance the more data they have collected via software. ML tasks can be processed up to 10,000 times faster than with a classic processor.

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 6246R, while the AMD EPYC 9554P supports a maximum of 6144 GB of memory with a maximum memory bandwidth of 460.8 GB/s enabled.

The Intel Xeon Gold 6246R has a TDP of 205 W. The TDP of the AMD EPYC 9554P is 360 W. System integrators use the TDP of the processor as a guide when dimensioning the cooling solution.

The Intel Xeon Gold 6246R has 35.75 MB cache and is manufactured in 14 nm. The cache of AMD EPYC 9554P is at 320.00 MB. The processor is manufactured in 5 nm.
