MediaTek MT6589M vs Intel Xeon E3-1280 v6

The MediaTek MT6589M is a 4 core processor with a clock frequency of 1.20 GHz. The processor can compute 4 threads at the same time. The Intel Xeon E3-1280 v6 clocks with 3.90 GHz (4.20 GHz), has 4 CPU cores and can calculate 8 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 GB of memory in a maximum of 1 memory channels is supported by the MediaTek MT6589M, while the Intel Xeon E3-1280 v6 supports a maximum of 64 GB of memory with a maximum memory bandwidth of 38.4 GB/s enabled.

The MediaTek MT6589M has a TDP of --. The TDP of the Intel Xeon E3-1280 v6 is 72 W. System integrators use the TDP of the processor as a guide when dimensioning the cooling solution.

The MediaTek MT6589M has 1.00 MB cache and is manufactured in 28 nm. The cache of Intel Xeon E3-1280 v6 is at 8.00 MB. The processor is manufactured in 14 nm.
