XSP 3rd gen performance profiles of some processors

[EajksEajks]

Hi!

I'm studying the technical caracteristics of various Xeon Gold processors and I'm puzzled with some characteristics as well as what's behind the performance profiles.

Example#1

SKU 5318Y @ 1483 USD

SKU 5318S @ 1945 USD

Same CPU freq, CPU TDP, MEM BW, high/low-core processors but a difference of 500 USD.

Example #2

5318N

Std characteristics: 12C/24T, MaxTF=3.6GHz, BF=2.1GHz, TDP=150W

PP Config 3: 24C BF=2.6GHz, TDP=135W, same MEM BW

How is it possible to decrease the TDP by 15W and increase the BF by .5GHz with the same amount of cores?

Any help welcome.
