Intel Xeon Gold 6434 vs Intel Xeon E7-4880 v2

In this CPU comparison, we compare the Intel Xeon Gold 6434 and the Intel Xeon E7-4880 v2 and use benchmarks to check which processor is faster.

We compare the Intel Xeon Gold 6434 8 core processor released in Q1/2023 with the Intel Xeon E7-4880 v2 which has 15 CPU cores and was introduced in Q1/2014.

The Intel Xeon Gold 6434 is a 8 core processor with a clock frequency of 3.70 GHz (4.10 GHz). The processor can compute 16 threads at the same time. The Intel Xeon E7-4880 v2 clocks with 2.50 GHz (3.10 GHz), has 15 CPU cores and can calculate 30 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 6434, while the Intel Xeon E7-4880 v2 supports a maximum of 1536 GB of memory with a maximum memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s enabled.

The Intel Xeon Gold 6434 has a TDP of 195 W. The TDP of the Intel Xeon E7-4880 v2 is 130 W. System integrators use the TDP of the processor as a guide when dimensioning the cooling solution.

The Intel Xeon Gold 6434 has 22.50 MB cache and is manufactured in 10 nm. The cache of Intel Xeon E7-4880 v2 is at 38.00 MB. The processor is manufactured in 22 nm.
