Intel Xeon Platinum 8354H vs Intel Xeon Platinum 9242

The Intel Xeon Platinum 8354H is a 18 core processor with a clock frequency of 3.10 GHz (4.30 GHz). The processor can compute 36 threads at the same time. The Intel Xeon Platinum 9242 clocks with 2.30 GHz (3.80 GHz), has 48 CPU cores and can calculate 96 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 1146 GB of memory in a maximum of 6 memory channels is supported by the Intel Xeon Platinum 8354H, while the Intel Xeon Platinum 9242 supports a maximum of GB of memory with a maximum memory bandwidth of 281.4 GB/s enabled.

The Intel Xeon Platinum 8354H has a TDP of 205 W. The TDP of the Intel Xeon Platinum 9242 is 350 W. System integrators use the TDP of the processor as a guide when dimensioning the cooling solution.

The Intel Xeon Platinum 8354H has 24.75 MB cache and is manufactured in 14 nm. The cache of Intel Xeon Platinum 9242 is at 71.50 MB. The processor is manufactured in 14 nm.
