Intel Xeon Platinum 9221 vs Intel Core2 Duo U7600

In this CPU comparison, we compare the Intel Xeon Platinum 9221 and the Intel Core2 Duo U7600 and use benchmarks to check which processor is faster.

We compare the Intel Xeon Platinum 9221 32 core processor released in Q3/2019 with the Intel Core2 Duo U7600 which has 2 CPU cores and was introduced in Q2/2007.

The Intel Xeon Platinum 9221 is a 32 core processor with a clock frequency of 2.30 GHz (3.70 GHz). The processor can compute 64 threads at the same time. The Intel Core2 Duo U7600 clocks with 1.20 GHz, has 2 CPU cores and can calculate 2 threads in parallel.

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.

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 GB of memory in a maximum of 12 memory channels is supported by the Intel Xeon Platinum 9221, while the Intel Core2 Duo U7600 supports a maximum of GB of memory with a maximum memory bandwidth of -- enabled.

The Intel Xeon Platinum 9221 has a TDP of 250 W. The TDP of the Intel Core2 Duo U7600 is 10 W. System integrators use the TDP of the processor as a guide when dimensioning the cooling solution.

The Intel Xeon Platinum 9221 has 71.50 MB cache and is manufactured in 14 nm. The cache of Intel Core2 Duo U7600 is at 2.00 MB. The processor is manufactured in 65 nm.
