Intel Xeon Gold 6426Y vs Intel Xeon Gold 6403N

In this CPU comparison, we compare the Intel Xeon Gold 6426Y and the Intel Xeon Gold 6403N and use benchmarks to check which processor is faster.

We compare the Intel Xeon Gold 6426Y 16 core processor released in Q1/2023 with the Intel Xeon Gold 6403N which has 24 CPU cores and was introduced in Q3/2023.

The Intel Xeon Gold 6426Y is a 16 core processor with a clock frequency of 2.50 GHz (4.10 GHz). The processor can compute 32 threads at the same time. The Intel Xeon Gold 6403N clocks with 1.90 GHz (3.60 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 4096 GB of memory in a maximum of 8 memory channels is supported by the Intel Xeon Gold 6426Y, while the Intel Xeon Gold 6403N supports a maximum of 4096 GB of memory with a maximum memory bandwidth of 256.0 GB/s enabled.

The Intel Xeon Gold 6426Y has a TDP of 185 W. The TDP of the Intel Xeon Gold 6403N is 185 W. System integrators use the TDP of the processor as a guide when dimensioning the cooling solution.

The Intel Xeon Gold 6426Y has 37.50 MB cache and is manufactured in 10 nm. The cache of Intel Xeon Gold 6403N is at 45.00 MB. The processor is manufactured in 10 nm.
