Intel Xeon Silver 4410Y vs Intel Xeon Platinum 8170M

The Intel Xeon Silver 4410Y is a 12 core processor with a clock frequency of 2.00 GHz (3.90 GHz). The processor can compute 24 threads at the same time. The Intel Xeon Platinum 8170M clocks with 2.10 GHz (3.70 GHz), has 26 CPU cores and can calculate 52 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 Silver 4410Y, while the Intel Xeon Platinum 8170M supports a maximum of 1536 GB of memory with a maximum memory bandwidth of 128.1 GB/s enabled.

The Intel Xeon Silver 4410Y has a TDP of 150 W. The TDP of the Intel Xeon Platinum 8170M is 165 W. System integrators use the TDP of the processor as a guide when dimensioning the cooling solution.

The Intel Xeon Silver 4410Y has 30.00 MB cache and is manufactured in 10 nm. The cache of Intel Xeon Platinum 8170M is at 36.00 MB. The processor is manufactured in 14 nm.
