Intel Xeon 6150 класса Gold vs Intel Xeon Platinum 8168: comparison

Comparison of Intel Xeon 6150 класса Gold and Intel Xeon Platinum 8168: key differences and a full specification table.

Key differences

Intel Xeon 6150 класса Gold has a lower TDP (165 W vs 205 W).

At the same time, Intel Xeon Platinum 8168 has more cores (24 vs 18), more threads (48 vs 36) and a larger L3 cache (33 MB vs 24.75 MB).

Both processors match on: base clock (2.7 GHz), maximum clock (3.7 GHz), 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.
