Intel Xeon Platinum 8268L vs Intel Atom Z2520

The Intel Xeon Platinum 8268L is a 24 core processor with a clock frequency of 2.40 GHz (3.90 GHz). The processor can compute 48 threads at the same time. The Intel Atom Z2520 clocks with 1.20 GHz, has 2 CPU cores and can calculate 4 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 4608 GB of memory in a maximum of 6 memory channels is supported by the Intel Xeon Platinum 8268L, while the Intel Atom Z2520 supports a maximum of 2 GB of memory with a maximum memory bandwidth of 8.5 GB/s enabled.

The Intel Xeon Platinum 8268L has a TDP of 165 W. The TDP of the Intel Atom Z2520 is --. System integrators use the TDP of the processor as a guide when dimensioning the cooling solution.

The Intel Xeon Platinum 8268L has 35.75 MB cache and is manufactured in 14 nm. The cache of Intel Atom Z2520 is at 1.00 MB. The processor is manufactured in 32 nm.
