Intel Xeon w3-2425 vs Intel Xeon Platinum 8356H

In this CPU comparison, we compare the Intel Xeon w3-2425 and the Intel Xeon Platinum 8356H and use benchmarks to check which processor is faster.

We compare the Intel Xeon w3-2425 6 core processor released in Q1/2023 with the Intel Xeon Platinum 8356H which has 8 CPU cores and was introduced in Q2/2020.

The Intel Xeon w3-2425 is a 6 core processor with a clock frequency of 3.00 GHz (4.40 GHz). The processor can compute 12 threads at the same time. The Intel Xeon Platinum 8356H clocks with 3.90 GHz (4.40 GHz), has 8 CPU cores and can calculate 16 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 2048 GB of memory in a maximum of 4 memory channels is supported by the Intel Xeon w3-2425, while the Intel Xeon Platinum 8356H supports a maximum of 1146 GB of memory with a maximum memory bandwidth of 140.7 GB/s enabled.

The Intel Xeon w3-2425 has a TDP of 130 W. The TDP of the Intel Xeon Platinum 8356H is 190 W. System integrators use the TDP of the processor as a guide when dimensioning the cooling solution.

The Intel Xeon w3-2425 has 15.00 MB cache and is manufactured in 10 nm. The cache of Intel Xeon Platinum 8356H is at 35.75 MB. The processor is manufactured in 14 nm.
