Intel Xeon W-1290TE vs Intel Xeon Gold 5218T

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 Xeon Gold 5218T clocks with 2.10 GHz (3.80 GHz), has 16 CPU cores and can calculate 32 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 128 GB of memory in a maximum of 2 memory channels is supported by the Intel Xeon W-1290TE, while the Intel Xeon Gold 5218T supports a maximum of 1024 GB of memory with a maximum memory bandwidth of 128.1 GB/s enabled.

The Intel Xeon W-1290TE has a TDP of 35 W. The TDP of the Intel Xeon Gold 5218T is 105 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 Xeon Gold 5218T is at 22.00 MB. The processor is manufactured in 14 nm.
