Intel Xeon Platinum 8160M vs AMD Ryzen Embedded V2516

Intel Xeon Platinum 8160M or AMD Ryzen Embedded V2516 - which processor is faster? In this comparison we look at the differences and analyze which of these two CPUs is better. We compare the technical data and benchmark results.

The Intel Xeon Platinum 8160M has 24 cores with 48 threads and clocks with a maximum frequency of 3.70 GHz. Up to 1536 GB of memory is supported in 6 memory channels. The Intel Xeon Platinum 8160M was released in Q3/2017.

The AMD Ryzen Embedded V2516 has 6 cores with 12 threads and clocks with a maximum frequency of 3.95 GHz. The CPU supports up to 64 GB of memory in 2 memory channels. The AMD Ryzen Embedded V2516 was released in Q4/2020.

The Intel Xeon Platinum 8160M has 24 CPU cores and can calculate 48 threads in parallel. The clock frequency of the Intel Xeon Platinum 8160M is 2.10 GHz (3.70 GHz) while the AMD Ryzen Embedded V2516 has 6 CPU cores and 12 threads can calculate simultaneously. The clock frequency of the AMD Ryzen Embedded V2516 is at 2.10 GHz (3.95 GHz).

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.

The Intel Xeon Platinum 8160M or AMD Ryzen Embedded V2516 has integrated graphics, called iGPU for short. The iGPU uses the system's main memory as graphics memory and sits on the processor's die.

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.

The Intel Xeon Platinum 8160M can use up to 1536 GB of memory in 6 memory channels. The maximum memory bandwidth is 128.1 GB/s. The AMD Ryzen Embedded V2516 supports up to 64 GB of memory in 2 memory channels and achieves a memory bandwidth of up to 51.2 GB/s.

The thermal design power (TDP for short) of the Intel Xeon Platinum 8160M is 150 W, while the AMD Ryzen Embedded V2516 has a TDP of 15 W. The TDP specifies the necessary cooling solution that is required to cool the processor sufficiently.
