Intel Xeon Platinum 8176M vs AMD Phenom II X2 B53

The Intel Xeon Platinum 8176M is a 28 core processor with a clock frequency of 2.10 GHz (3.80 GHz). The processor can compute 56 threads at the same time. The AMD Phenom II X2 B53 clocks with 2.80 GHz, has 2 CPU cores and can calculate 2 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 1536 GB of memory in a maximum of 6 memory channels is supported by the Intel Xeon Platinum 8176M, while the AMD Phenom II X2 B53 supports a maximum of GB of memory with a maximum memory bandwidth of 21.3 GB/s enabled.

The Intel Xeon Platinum 8176M has a TDP of 165 W. The TDP of the AMD Phenom II X2 B53 is 80 W. System integrators use the TDP of the processor as a guide when dimensioning the cooling solution.

The Intel Xeon Platinum 8176M has 39.00 MB cache and is manufactured in 14 nm. The cache of AMD Phenom II X2 B53 is at 6.00 MB. The processor is manufactured in 45 nm.
