Best Intel Server class CPU with iGPU/Quicksync?

[IamSpartacus]

Is the Xeon E-2100 series the cream of the crop with regard to Intel server class processors that support Quicksync?

That’s my take, hence why I pulled the trigger on a 2176g. The 2146g wasn’t in channel at all and I didn’t want the higher TDP of the 2186g.

Do CPU pass mark benchmarks factor in the iGPU? Trying to compare the E-2176g to the Xeon Silver 4114.

Does the Xeon Silver 4114 have Quick Sync .. ? I see the appeal of having a nice xeon unit with QS especially for general storage with a video surveillance system running in a hypervisor system; the question is, FINDING a Xeon unit which also HAS Quick Sync. Of course, MilestoneSys.com now supports GPUs like the 1080 Ti ... which is pretty fantastic for a FREE VMS / Surveillance system ... so long as you can manage on a budget of 8 cameras.

Anyway, I've struggled to get a definitive answer aside from the inference that, 'no data' = null hypothesis, or, doesn't support it.

It'd be nice if there were a way to find

E5-2xxx v3 or v4 ...
-- or --
Xeon Silver (LGA 3647 CPUs)

... of which either had say, the integrated GPU HD 630 ... and supported QuickSync, as well.

I do know of a conversation I've had that I can dig up in which [a] xeon proc was suggested to me ... which necessarily had QuickSync feature integrated (as it was previously contingent for the Milestone Systems version I was using) ... and could find that if those are the only criteria.

However, I think you, like me, are looking for a particular generation (juuuust old enough to be priced for consumers... but still has very good performance. I'm not fast at checking back here; but, if I read you right, and, you haven't as of yet found said info ... I'll dig that up and get it posted here.


While off topic, any chance someone has a definitive opinion in comparative performance or 'inherent advantages' of the LGA 3647 procs, such as the Silver series and up -- vs. the E5-26xx v3 / v4 (difference between those is a small 'core bump' and 10% faster memory, which although good, isn't a quantum leap such that I regard them as a different species of processor.

It's hard to imagine that the LGA3647, with it's much larger footprint, area for cooling, pins allowing connectivity (bandwidth) improvements ... is a 'largely cosmetic' difference ... of which, it's really the same product. (Same PCI lanes, RAM capacities, and so on and so forth...) which is just, kinda surprising.

Thanks...

None of the 8+ core Xeon CPUs have Quick Sync as you can see here. The best Xeon you can find with QS is the Xeon E-2100 series.

On a related note, I thought very long and hard about going with an LGA3647 CPU (was looking at the Silver 4114 for a while) but I wound up picking up a Xeon E5-2680v3 instead. The value is just so much higher.

Currently, no mainstream server CPUs have an iGPU. I think the Intel Xeon E-2100 is owned by the consumer group at Intel these days.

Here is the general breakdown off the top of my head.

With iGPU:

• Intel Xeon E3-12x5 or 12x6 models
• Intel Xeon E-21xxG models
• Intel Core i3
• AMD Ryzen Embedded V1000 (ECC if motherboard supports)

Without iGPU:

• Xeon E5
• Xeon Scalable x1xx
• Xeon D-1500
• Xeon D-2100
• Atom C2000
• Atom C3000
• Xeon E3-12x0 and E3-12x1
• Xeon E-21xx models
• AMD EPYC 3xx1
• AMD EPYC 7xx1

Hi really quick question @Patrick

Do you know if there are newer Xeons now with iGPU?
