Intel Xeon Gold 6548N vs AMD EPYC 9015

In this CPU comparison, we compare the Intel Xeon Gold 6548N and the AMD EPYC 9015 and use benchmarks to check which processor is faster.

We compare the Intel Xeon Gold 6548N 32 core processor released in Q4/2023 with the AMD EPYC 9015 which has 8 CPU cores and was introduced in Q4/2024.

The Intel Xeon Gold 6548N is a 32 core processor with a clock frequency of 2.80 GHz (4.10 GHz). The processor can compute 64 threads at the same time. The AMD EPYC 9015 clocks with 3.60 GHz, has 8 CPU cores and can calculate 16 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 6548N, while the AMD EPYC 9015 supports a maximum of 6144 GB of memory with a maximum memory bandwidth of 480.0 GB/s enabled.

The Intel Xeon Gold 6548N has a TDP of 250 W. The TDP of the AMD EPYC 9015 is 155 W. System integrators use the TDP of the processor as a guide when dimensioning the cooling solution.

The Intel Xeon Gold 6548N has 60.00 MB cache and is manufactured in 10 nm. The cache of AMD EPYC 9015 is at 32.00 MB. The processor is manufactured in 4 nm.
