Intel Xeon Platinum 8380 vs AMD EPYC 7473X

Intel Xeon Platinum 8380 or AMD EPYC 7473X - 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 8380 has 32 cores with 64 threads and clocks with a maximum frequency of 3.40 GHz. Up to 6144 GB of memory is supported in 8 memory channels. The Intel Xeon Platinum 8380 was released in Q2/2021.

The AMD EPYC 7473X has 24 cores with 48 threads and clocks with a maximum frequency of 3.70 GHz. The CPU supports up to 4096 GB of memory in 8 memory channels. The AMD EPYC 7473X was released in Q2/2022.

The Intel Xeon Platinum 8380 has 32 CPU cores and can calculate 64 threads in parallel. The clock frequency of the Intel Xeon Platinum 8380 is 2.30 GHz (3.40 GHz) while the AMD EPYC 7473X has 24 CPU cores and 48 threads can calculate simultaneously. The clock frequency of the AMD EPYC 7473X is at 2.80 GHz (3.70 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 8380 or AMD EPYC 7473X 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 8380 can use up to 6144 GB of memory in 8 memory channels. The maximum memory bandwidth is 204.8 GB/s. The AMD EPYC 7473X 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 8380 is 270 W, while the AMD EPYC 7473X 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 8380 is manufactured in 10 nm and has 60.00 MB cache. The AMD EPYC 7473X is manufactured in 7 nm and has a 800.00 MB cache.
