Competing with Intel While the PN parts may be slower, they come at a higher price point, approximately 10% more expensive. However, AMD’s overall pricing remains competitive compared to the equivalent Intel counterparts. These new processors are set to go head-to-head with a range of Xeon processors from Intel, spanning Gold, Silver, Bronze, and D-series, with power ratings between 96W and 185W.
AMD’s Advantages AMD’s EPYC 8004-series processors offer significant advantages in terms of core count and memory support. With up to 64 cores and 128 threads, as well as support for up to 6TB of memory, they outshine Intel’s offerings, which max out at 32 cores and 64 threads with 4TB of memory support. AMD’s benchmark results showcase their superiority, even when pitted against a 300W part like the Xeon 8471N, which has fewer cores, a smaller cache, and a lower clock speed.
