Intel Xeon Silver 4116T vs Intel Pentium E6500

The Intel Xeon Silver 4116T is a 12 core processor with a clock frequency of 2.10 GHz (3.00 GHz). The processor can compute 24 threads at the same time. The Intel Pentium E6500 clocks with 2.93 GHz, has 2 CPU cores and can calculate 2 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 768 GB of memory in a maximum of 6 memory channels is supported by the Intel Xeon Silver 4116T, while the Intel Pentium E6500 supports a maximum of 16 GB of memory with a maximum memory bandwidth of 21.3 GB/s enabled.

The Intel Xeon Silver 4116T has a TDP of 85 W. The TDP of the Intel Pentium E6500 is 65 W. System integrators use the TDP of the processor as a guide when dimensioning the cooling solution.

The Intel Xeon Silver 4116T has 16.00 MB cache and is manufactured in 14 nm. The cache of Intel Pentium E6500 is at 2.00 MB. The processor is manufactured in 45 nm.
