Intel Xeon W-3265 vs Intel Core 2 Quad Q9500

The Intel Xeon W-3265 is a 24 core processor with a clock frequency of 2.70 GHz (4.60 GHz). The processor can compute 48 threads at the same time. The Intel Core 2 Quad Q9500 clocks with 2.83 GHz, has 4 CPU cores and can calculate 4 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 1024 GB of memory in a maximum of 6 memory channels is supported by the Intel Xeon W-3265, while the Intel Core 2 Quad Q9500 supports a maximum of 16 GB of memory with a maximum memory bandwidth of 17.1 GB/s enabled.

The Intel Xeon W-3265 has a TDP of 205 W. The TDP of the Intel Core 2 Quad Q9500 is 95 W. System integrators use the TDP of the processor as a guide when dimensioning the cooling solution.

The Intel Xeon W-3265 has 33.00 MB cache and is manufactured in 14 nm. The cache of Intel Core 2 Quad Q9500 is at 6.00 MB. The processor is manufactured in 45 nm.
