Intel Xeon Platinum 8376HL vs AMD EPYC 7663

Intel Xeon Platinum 8376HL or AMD EPYC 7663 - 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 8376HL has 28 cores with 56 threads and clocks with a maximum frequency of 4.30 GHz. Up to 4608 GB of memory is supported in 6 memory channels. The Intel Xeon Platinum 8376HL was released in Q2/2020.

The AMD EPYC 7663 has 56 cores with 112 threads and clocks with a maximum frequency of 3.50 GHz. The CPU supports up to 4096 GB of memory in 8 memory channels. The AMD EPYC 7663 was released in Q1/2021.

The Intel Xeon Platinum 8376HL has 28 CPU cores and can calculate 56 threads in parallel. The clock frequency of the Intel Xeon Platinum 8376HL is 2.60 GHz (4.30 GHz) while the AMD EPYC 7663 has 56 CPU cores and 112 threads can calculate simultaneously. The clock frequency of the AMD EPYC 7663 is at 2.00 GHz (3.50 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 8376HL or AMD EPYC 7663 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 8376HL can use up to 4608 GB of memory in 6 memory channels. The maximum memory bandwidth is 153.6 GB/s. The AMD EPYC 7663 supports up to 4096 GB of memory in 8 memory channels and achieves a memory bandwidth of up to 204.8 GB/s.

The thermal design power (TDP for short) of the Intel Xeon Platinum 8376HL is 205 W, while the AMD EPYC 7663 has a TDP of 240 W. The TDP specifies the necessary cooling solution that is required to cool the processor sufficiently.

The Intel Xeon Platinum 8376HL is manufactured in 14 nm and has 38.50 MB cache. The AMD EPYC 7663 is manufactured in 7 nm and has a 256.00 MB cache.
