Intel Xeon Gold 6328HL vs AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7960X

In this CPU comparison, we compare the Intel Xeon Gold 6328HL and the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7960X and use benchmarks to check which processor is faster.

We compare the Intel Xeon Gold 6328HL 16 core processor released in Q2/2020 with the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7960X which has 24 CPU cores and was introduced in Q4/2023.

The Intel Xeon Gold 6328HL is a 16 core processor with a clock frequency of 2.80 GHz (4.30 GHz). The processor can compute 32 threads at the same time. The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7960X clocks with 4.20 GHz (5.30 GHz), has 24 CPU cores and can calculate 48 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 4608 GB of memory in a maximum of 6 memory channels is supported by the Intel Xeon Gold 6328HL, while the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7960X supports a maximum of 1024 GB of memory with a maximum memory bandwidth of 166.4 GB/s enabled.

The Intel Xeon Gold 6328HL has a TDP of 165 W. The TDP of the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7960X is 350 W. System integrators use the TDP of the processor as a guide when dimensioning the cooling solution.

The Intel Xeon Gold 6328HL has 22.00 MB cache and is manufactured in 14 nm. The cache of AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7960X is at 152.00 MB. The processor is manufactured in 5 nm.
