Summary
About the Intel Xeon Platinum 8168 CPU
The Intel Xeon Platinum 8168 is a 24-core (48-thread) processor built for the server CPU market. The Xeon Platinum 8168 is compatible with Socket 3647 LGA motherboards.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The Xeon Platinum 8168 features 24 total cores which can process 48 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 2700.0 MHz, and it can boost up to 3.7 GHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture.
Integrated Graphics
The Xeon Platinum 8168 does not include an integrated graphics solution. A dedicated graphics card will be required if you require a monitor with your computer.
About the AMD Opteron 6308 CPU
The AMD Opteron 6308 is an end-of-life 4-core (4-thread) processor built for the server CPU market. It launched in Q4 2012 with a suggested retail price of $501. It is part of AMD's Opteron lineup, which is based on the Abu Dhabi microarchitecture. The Opteron 6308 is compatible with AMD Socket G34 motherboards and is fabricated on GlobalFoundries's 32 nm manufacturing process.
Memory and Cache
The Opteron 6308 supports DDR3 memory and features a quad-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 4 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Opteron 6308 has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 192 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 8 MB.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The Opteron 6308 features 4 total cores which can process 4 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 3.5 GHz. Higher clock speeds result in higher performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is locked, making it incapable of overclocking for pushing performance further.
Integrated Graphics
The Opteron 6308 does not include an integrated graphics solution. A dedicated graphics card will be required if you require a monitor with your computer.
