Intel Xeon Platinum 8468 vs AMD EPYC 9124

The Intel Xeon Platinum 8468 is a 48 core processor with a clock frequency of 2.10 GHz (3.80 GHz). The processor can compute 96 threads at the same time. The AMD EPYC 9124 clocks with 3.00 GHz (3.70 GHz), has 16 CPU cores and can calculate 32 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 4096 GB of memory in a maximum of 8 memory channels is supported by the Intel Xeon Platinum 8468, while the AMD EPYC 9124 supports a maximum of 6144 GB of memory with a maximum memory bandwidth of 460.8 GB/s enabled.

The Intel Xeon Platinum 8468 has a TDP of 350 W. The TDP of the AMD EPYC 9124 is 200 W. System integrators use the TDP of the processor as a guide when dimensioning the cooling solution.

The Intel Xeon Platinum 8468 has 105.00 MB cache and is manufactured in 10 nm. The cache of AMD EPYC 9124 is at 80.00 MB. The processor is manufactured in 5 nm.
