Intel Xeon W-1290TE vs Intel Atom C3338R

In this CPU comparison, we compare the Intel Xeon W-1290TE and the Intel Atom C3338R and use benchmarks to check which processor is faster.

We compare the Intel Xeon W-1290TE 10 core processor released in Q2/2020 with the Intel Atom C3338R which has 2 CPU cores and was introduced in Q2/2020.

The Intel Xeon W-1290TE is a 10 core processor with a clock frequency of 1.80 GHz (4.50 GHz). The processor can compute 20 threads at the same time. The Intel Atom C3338R clocks with 1.80 GHz (2.20 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 128 GB of memory in a maximum of 2 memory channels is supported by the Intel Xeon W-1290TE, while the Intel Atom C3338R supports a maximum of 128 GB of memory with a maximum memory bandwidth of 29.9 GB/s enabled.

The Intel Xeon W-1290TE has a TDP of 35 W. The TDP of the Intel Atom C3338R is 10.5 W. System integrators use the TDP of the processor as a guide when dimensioning the cooling solution.

The Intel Xeon W-1290TE has 20.00 MB cache and is manufactured in 14 nm. The cache of Intel Atom C3338R is at 4.00 MB. The processor is manufactured in 14 nm.
