Intel Xeon Gold 6554S vs Intel Xeon Gold 6558Q

In this CPU comparison, we compare the Intel Xeon Gold 6554S and the Intel Xeon Gold 6558Q and use benchmarks to check which processor is faster.

We compare the Intel Xeon Gold 6554S 36 core processor released in Q4/2023 with the Intel Xeon Gold 6558Q which has 32 CPU cores and was introduced in Q4/2023.

The Intel Xeon Gold 6554S is a 36 core processor with a clock frequency of 2.20 GHz (4.00 GHz). The processor can compute 72 threads at the same time. The Intel Xeon Gold 6558Q clocks with 3.20 GHz (4.10 GHz), has 32 CPU cores and can calculate 64 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 6554S, while the Intel Xeon Gold 6558Q supports a maximum of 4096 GB of memory with a maximum memory bandwidth of 332.8 GB/s enabled.

The Intel Xeon Gold 6554S has a TDP of 270 W. The TDP of the Intel Xeon Gold 6558Q is 350 W. System integrators use the TDP of the processor as a guide when dimensioning the cooling solution.

The Intel Xeon Gold 6554S has 180.00 MB cache and is manufactured in 10 nm. The cache of Intel Xeon Gold 6558Q is at 60.00 MB. The processor is manufactured in 10 nm.
