About the AMD Athlon 64 FX-55 CPU
The AMD Athlon 64 FX-55 is an end-of-life 1-core (1-thread) processor built for the desktop CPU market. It launched in Q4 2004 with a suggested retail price of $827. It is part of AMD's Athlon 64 FX lineup, which is based on the ClawHammer microarchitecture. The 64 FX-55 is compatible with AMD Socket 939 motherboards and is fabricated on a 130 nm manufacturing process. It is bundled a Yes cooler.
Memory and Cache
The Athlon 64 FX-55 supports DDR1 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Athlon 64 FX-55 has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 128 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 1 MB, is larger but slower than the L1.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The Athlon 64 FX-55 is a single-core and single-threaded CPU, making it not capable of processing multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 2.6 GHz. Higher clock speeds result in higher performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is unlocked, enabling overclocking for those seeking to push the CPU's performance further.
Integrated Graphics
The Athlon 64 FX-55 does not include an integrated graphics solution. A dedicated graphics card will be required if you require a monitor with your computer.
About the Intel Xeon Platinum 8480+ CPU
The Intel Xeon Platinum 8480+ is a 56-core (112-thread) processor built for the server CPU market. It launched in Q1 2023 with a suggested retail price of $10,710. It is part of Intel's Xeon Platinum lineup, which is based on the Sapphire Rapids-SP microarchitecture. The Platinum 8480+ is compatible with Intel Socket 4677 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 10 nm manufacturing process.
Memory and Cache
The Xeon Platinum 8480+ supports DDR5 memory and features a octa-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 8 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Xeon Platinum 8480+ has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 80 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 2 MB, is larger but slower than the L1. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 105 MB.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The Xeon Platinum 8480+ features 56 total cores which can process 112 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 2000.0 MHz, and it can boost up to 3.8 GHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is locked, making it incapable of overclocking for pushing performance further.
Integrated Graphics
The Xeon Platinum 8480+ does not include an integrated graphics solution. A dedicated graphics card will be required if you require a monitor with your computer.
