Intel Xeon Platinum 8471N vs AMD GX-420MC

Intel Xeon Platinum 8471N or AMD GX-420MC - 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 8471N has 52 cores with 104 threads and clocks with a maximum frequency of 3.60 GHz. Up to 4096 GB of memory is supported in 8 memory channels. The Intel Xeon Platinum 8471N was released in Q1/2023.

The AMD GX-420MC has 4 cores with 4 threads and clocks with a maximum frequency of 2.00 GHz. The CPU supports up to 16 GB of memory in 1 memory channels. The AMD GX-420MC was released in Q2/2016.

The Intel Xeon Platinum 8471N has 52 CPU cores and can calculate 104 threads in parallel. The clock frequency of the Intel Xeon Platinum 8471N is 1.80 GHz (3.60 GHz) while the AMD GX-420MC has 4 CPU cores and 4 threads can calculate simultaneously. The clock frequency of the AMD GX-420MC is at 2.00 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 8471N or AMD GX-420MC 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 8471N can use up to 4096 GB of memory in 8 memory channels. The maximum memory bandwidth is 307.2 GB/s. The AMD GX-420MC supports up to 16 GB of memory in 1 memory channels and achieves a memory bandwidth of up to 12.8 GB/s.

The thermal design power (TDP for short) of the Intel Xeon Platinum 8471N is 300 W, while the AMD GX-420MC has a TDP of 17.5 W. The TDP specifies the necessary cooling solution that is required to cool the processor sufficiently.

The Intel Xeon Platinum 8471N is manufactured in 10 nm and has 97.50 MB cache. The AMD GX-420MC is manufactured in 28 nm and has a 2.00 MB cache.
