Intel Xeon 6 vs. AMD EPYC 5th Gen
2025 Compute Processor Landscape: Intel vs. AMD
The competition in the compute processor market remains fierce in 2025. Intel recently introduced their Xeon 6 processors while AMD recently introduced their Gen 5 processors. AMD maintained its performance and scalability advantage over Intel with its Gen 5 family boasting an industry best 192-core processor and processors with Max Boost Frequency up to 5 GHz.
As businesses evaluate these advancements, it’s crucial to recognize that compute acquisition costs are often a minor component of the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). Per-core and per-socket software licensing costs can account for up to 70% of overall TCO, making processor efficiency and workload optimization pivotal considerations in infrastructure planning.
Optimizing Infrastructure for Reduced TCO
Organizations are faced with a wide array of infrastructure options, including cloud, server, converged, and hyperconverged (HCI) solutions. Determining the ideal fit for workloads and applications can be challenging, particularly with TCO and software efficiency in mind.
