Overview
SummaryThe Intel Xeon 634 is a workstation processor with 12 cores and 24 threads, built on the Granite Rapids architecture. It launched in Jan 2026. Clocks run from 2.7 GHz base to 4.6 GHz boost. A 48-MB L3 cache backs the cores (6.1 MB per core). It addresses DDR5 memory up to 2 GB across 4 channels. The chip drops into the FCLGA4710 socket and exposes PCIe 5.0 (80 lanes). Rated TDP is 150 W. Notable platform capabilities: AMX, AVX-512, Extended Page Tables (EPT), Control-flow Enforcement (CET).
Performance
12 metricsThe Intel Xeon 634 scores 3,579 in single-core performance and 38,515 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 11,741 for overall performance, 30,045 for productivity performance, 27,625 for creator performance, 41,885 for engineering performance and 20,366 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 3,210 per core, 1,605 per thread and 257 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 959. Its performance index is 146, so its overall performance is 46% above the Intel Core i5-12400 (index 100). Each bar shows the score as a share of a reference ceiling, which is the larger of the 99th-percentile score across the Feex CPU database and a fixed baseline.
How these scores are computed
Single-core and multi-core performance are PassMark CPU Mark single-thread and multi-thread ratings. Every other figure on this page's performance section is computed by Feex from those two ratings plus core count, thread count and TDP, so it is a derived value and not a separate benchmark run.
- Overall performance is the geometric mean of the two ratings: the square root of single-core times multi-core.
- Productivity performance is 0.65 times multi-core plus 1.4 times single-core.
- Creator performance is 0.55 times multi-core plus 1.8 times single-core.
- Engineering performance is multi-core times the smaller of 1.4 and (0.9 plus cores divided by 64).
- Gaming performance is 3 times single-core plus 0.25 times multi-core.
- Performance per core, per thread and per watt divide the multi-core rating by physical cores, logical threads and TDP in watts.
- The efficiency index is the square root of single-core times multi-core, divided by the square root of TDP.
- The performance index is overall performance divided by the overall performance of the Intel Core i5-12400 (8,069), times 100.
Workload Benchmarks
8 workloadsScores for individual PassMark CPU Mark test categories. Higher is better. These are measured test scores, not computed from the single-core and multi-core ratings.
In the individual workload tests the Intel Xeon 634 scores 119,224 in integer math, 94,298 in floating-point math, 481,623 in compression, 23,657 in cryptography, 2,651 in physics simulation, 38,354 in vector SIMD, 226 in the prime sieve and 47,107 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 102% above in integer math, 105% above in floating-point math, 111% above in compression, 106% above in cryptography, 143% above in physics simulation, 147% above in vector SIMD, 237% above in the prime sieve and 108% above in sorting. Each bar shows the score as a share of that workload's reference ceiling, the larger of the 99th-percentile score across CPUs with a recorded value and a fixed baseline.
