Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 vs AMD EPYC 7352

The Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 is a 24 core processor with a clock frequency of 2.10 GHz (3.70 GHz). The processor can compute 48 threads at the same time. The AMD EPYC 7352 clocks with 2.30 GHz (3.20 GHz), has 24 CPU cores and can calculate 48 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 768 GB of memory in a maximum of 6 memory channels is supported by the Intel Xeon Platinum 8160, while the AMD EPYC 7352 supports a maximum of GB of memory with a maximum memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s enabled.

The Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 has a TDP of 150 W. The TDP of the AMD EPYC 7352 is 155 W. System integrators use the TDP of the processor as a guide when dimensioning the cooling solution.

The Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 has 33.00 MB cache and is manufactured in 14 nm. The cache of AMD EPYC 7352 is at 128.00 MB. The processor is manufactured in 7 nm.
