Microsoft XBox Series S vs Intel Core i3-13100TE

The Microsoft XBox Series S is a 8 core processor with a clock frequency of 3.00 GHz (3.60 GHz). The processor can compute 16 threads at the same time. The Intel Core i3-13100TE clocks with 2.40 GHz (4.10 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 10 GB of memory in a maximum of 2 memory channels is supported by the Microsoft XBox Series S, while the Intel Core i3-13100TE supports a maximum of 128 GB of memory with a maximum memory bandwidth of 76.8 GB/s enabled.

The Microsoft XBox Series S has a TDP of 65 W. The TDP of the Intel Core i3-13100TE is 35 W. System integrators use the TDP of the processor as a guide when dimensioning the cooling solution.

The Microsoft XBox Series S has 8.00 MB cache and is manufactured in 7 nm. The cache of Intel Core i3-13100TE is at 17.00 MB. The processor is manufactured in 10 nm.
