Intel Xeon Gold 6414U vs Intel Xeon Platinum 9242

In this CPU comparison, we compare the Intel Xeon Gold 6414U and the Intel Xeon Platinum 9242 and use benchmarks to check which processor is faster.

We compare the Intel Xeon Gold 6414U 32 core processor released in Q1/2023 with the Intel Xeon Platinum 9242 which has 48 CPU cores and was introduced in Q3/2019.

The Intel Xeon Gold 6414U is a 32 core processor with a clock frequency of 2.00 GHz (3.40 GHz). The processor can compute 64 threads at the same time. The Intel Xeon Platinum 9242 clocks with 2.30 GHz (3.80 GHz), has 48 CPU cores and can calculate 96 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 4096 GB of memory in a maximum of 8 memory channels is supported by the Intel Xeon Gold 6414U, while the Intel Xeon Platinum 9242 supports a maximum of GB of memory with a maximum memory bandwidth of 281.4 GB/s enabled.

The Intel Xeon Gold 6414U has a TDP of 250 W. The TDP of the Intel Xeon Platinum 9242 is 350 W. System integrators use the TDP of the processor as a guide when dimensioning the cooling solution.

The Intel Xeon Gold 6414U has 60.00 MB cache and is manufactured in 10 nm. The cache of Intel Xeon Platinum 9242 is at 71.50 MB. The processor is manufactured in 14 nm.
