Intel Xeon Gold 6246R vs Intel Xeon Platinum 8360H

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 Intel Xeon Platinum 8360H clocks with 3.00 GHz (4.20 GHz), has 24 CPU cores and can calculate 48 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 Intel Xeon Platinum 8360H supports a maximum of 1146 GB of memory with a maximum memory bandwidth of 153.6 GB/s enabled.

The Intel Xeon Gold 6246R has a TDP of 205 W. The TDP of the Intel Xeon Platinum 8360H is 225 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 Intel Xeon Platinum 8360H is at 33.00 MB. The processor is manufactured in 14 nm.
