Intel Xeon 5118 класса Gold vs Intel Xeon 8156 класса Platinum: comparison

Comparison of Intel Xeon 5118 класса Gold and Intel Xeon 8156 класса Platinum: key differences and a full specification table.

Key differences

Intel Xeon 5118 класса Gold has more cores (12 vs 4) and more threads (24 vs 8).

At the same time, Intel Xeon 8156 класса Platinum has a higher base clock (3.6 GHz vs 2.3 GHz) and a higher maximum clock (3.7 GHz vs 3.2 GHz).

Both processors match on: L3 cache (16.5 MB), TDP (105 W), process node (14 nm), maximum memory size (768 GB), memory channels (6), PCIe version (3).

These are specification values: they show differences between the models but do not determine a performance winner. For a specific workload, rely on independent benchmarks.
