Intel® Xeon™ 6505P

The Intel Xeon 6505P is a server processor with 12 cores and 24 threads, built on the Granite Rapids architecture. It launched in Jan 2025. Clocks run from 2.2 GHz base to 4.1 GHz boost. A 48-MB L3 cache backs the cores (6.1 MB per core). It addresses DDR5 memory up to 4 GB across 8 channels. The chip drops into the FCLGA4710 socket and exposes PCIe 5.0 (88 lanes). Rated TDP is 150 W. Notable platform capabilities: AMX (Advanced Matrix Extensions), AMX, AVX-512, Extended Page Tables (EPT).

The Intel Xeon 6505P scores 3,179 in single-core performance and 38,363 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 11,043 for overall performance, 29,387 for productivity performance, 26,822 for creator performance, 41,720 for engineering performance and 19,128 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 3,197 per core, 1,598 per thread and 256 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 902. Its performance index is 137, so its overall performance is 37% 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.

Scores 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 6505P scores 120,027 in integer math, 93,011 in floating-point math, 479,414 in compression, 24,255 in cryptography, 3,064 in physics simulation, 37,561 in vector SIMD, 220 in the prime sieve and 51,384 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 104% above in integer math, 103% above in floating-point math, 110% above in compression, 111% above in cryptography, 181% above in physics simulation, 142% above in vector SIMD, 228% above in the prime sieve and 127% 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.

The Intel Xeon 6505P has 12 physical cores and runs 24 logical threads. It runs 2 threads per core. It runs at a base clock of 2.20 GHz and boosts up to 4.10 GHz.

The Intel Xeon 6505P is a server processor, belongs to the Intel Xeon 6 family, uses the Granite Rapids architecture and carries the codename Granite Rapids. It launched in Jan 2025.

The Intel Xeon 6505P has 1.31 MB of L1 cache, 24 MB of L2 cache and 48 MB of L3 cache. That adds up to about 73.3 MB of cache, or 6.11 MB per core. Each core has 2 MB of private L2 cache.

The Intel Xeon 6505P has a 3-level cache hierarchy: L1 at 1.3 MB, L2 at 24 MB and L3 at 48 MB. L3 is the largest level and makes up about 65% of the cache listed here.

The Intel Xeon 6505P supports DDR5 memory, addresses up to 4 GB of memory and uses 8 memory channels. It does not support DDR4 and LPDDR memory.

The Intel Xeon 6505P does not include integrated graphics, so a discrete graphics card is required for display output.

The Intel Xeon 6505P uses the FCLGA4710 socket, supports PCI Express 5.0 and provides up to 88 PCIe lanes.

The Intel Xeon 6505P has a rated TDP of 150 W.
