Intel Xeon Platinum 8360Y vs HiSilicon Kirin 659

The Intel Xeon Platinum 8360Y is a 36 core processor with a clock frequency of 2.40 GHz (3.50 GHz). The processor can compute 72 threads at the same time. The HiSilicon Kirin 659 clocks with 2.36 GHz, has 8 CPU cores and can calculate 8 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 6144 GB of memory in a maximum of 8 memory channels is supported by the Intel Xeon Platinum 8360Y, while the HiSilicon Kirin 659 supports a maximum of GB of memory with a maximum memory bandwidth of -- enabled.

The Intel Xeon Platinum 8360Y has a TDP of 250 W. The TDP of the HiSilicon Kirin 659 is --. System integrators use the TDP of the processor as a guide when dimensioning the cooling solution.

The Intel Xeon Platinum 8360Y has 54.00 MB cache and is manufactured in 10 nm. The cache of HiSilicon Kirin 659 is at 0.00 MB. The processor is manufactured in 16 nm.
