What is the difference between Intel platinum and Intel gold processor ?
The intel processors can be differentiated by many factors like CPU cores, clock speed, turbo boot, TDP, memory support, etc …
Here we can see what is the main difference between Intel platinum and gold processors.
Intel Platinum Vs Intel Gold
| # | Key factors | Intel Xeon Platinum | Intel Xeon Gold |
| 1 | Processor model series | 8000/9000 | 5000/6000 |
| 2 | Max core per processor | 56 | 28 |
| 3 | Max clock speed per Core | 3.8 Ghz | 3.8 Ghz |
| 4 | Max CPU cache | 77 MB | 38.5 MB |
| 5 | Max memory size support | 4.5 TB | 1.5 TB |
| 6 | Max socket per server | 8 | 4 |
| 7 | Memory Types | 3200/2933 MT/s | 2933 MT/s |
| 8 | Ultra Path Interconnect (UPI) | 4 | 2 |
| 9 | TDP | 350 W | 205 W |
Based on computing requirement we choose suitable processors for our environment and intel has lots of variant model processors based on core, clock speed, server socket and memory size .
Note:
All above details are captured maximum supported configuration features between platinum and gold processors and configuration feature will change each and every processor models.
Good analysis Bala..I am always happy to learn something new..good job keep it up
