Intel Xeon Gold 6458Q vs Intel Xeon E3-1280 v5

The Intel Xeon Gold 6458Q is a 32 core processor with a clock frequency of 3.10 GHz (4.00 GHz). The processor can compute 64 threads at the same time. The Intel Xeon E3-1280 v5 clocks with 3.70 GHz (4.00 GHz), has 4 CPU cores and can calculate 8 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 4096 GB of memory in a maximum of 8 memory channels is supported by the Intel Xeon Gold 6458Q, while the Intel Xeon E3-1280 v5 supports a maximum of 64 GB of memory with a maximum memory bandwidth of 34.1 GB/s enabled.

The Intel Xeon Gold 6458Q has a TDP of 350 W. The TDP of the Intel Xeon E3-1280 v5 is 80 W. System integrators use the TDP of the processor as a guide when dimensioning the cooling solution.

The Intel Xeon Gold 6458Q has 60.00 MB cache and is manufactured in 10 nm. The cache of Intel Xeon E3-1280 v5 is at 8.00 MB. The processor is manufactured in 14 nm.
