Intel® Xeon™ 6520P

The Intel Xeon 6520P is a server processor with 24 cores and 48 threads, built on the Granite Rapids architecture. It launched in Jan 2025. Clocks run from 2.4 GHz base to 4.0 GHz boost. A 144-MB L3 cache backs the cores (8.1 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 210 W. Notable platform capabilities: AMX (Advanced Matrix Extensions), AMX, AVX-512, Extended Page Tables (EPT).

The Intel Xeon 6520P scores 3,356 in single-core performance and 62,936 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 14,533 for overall performance, 45,607 for productivity performance, 40,656 for creator performance, 80,243 for engineering performance and 25,802 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 2,622 per core, 1,311 per thread and 300 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 1,003. Its performance index is 180, so its overall performance is 80% 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 6520P scores 214,288 in integer math, 162,862 in floating-point math, 841,518 in compression, 45,188 in cryptography, 7,209 in physics simulation, 64,557 in vector SIMD, 526 in the prime sieve and 95,736 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 264% above in integer math, 255% above in floating-point math, 269% above in compression, 293% above in cryptography, 561% above in physics simulation, 316% above in vector SIMD, 685% above in the prime sieve and 323% 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 6520P has 24 physical cores and runs 48 logical threads. It runs 2 threads per core. It runs at a base clock of 2.40 GHz and boosts up to 4.00 GHz.

The Intel Xeon 6520P 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 6520P has 2.63 MB of L1 cache, 48 MB of L2 cache and 144 MB of L3 cache. That adds up to about 194.6 MB of cache, or 8.11 MB per core. Each core has 2 MB of private L2 cache.

The Intel Xeon 6520P has a 3-level cache hierarchy: L1 at 2.6 MB, L2 at 48 MB and L3 at 144 MB. L3 is the largest level and makes up about 74% of the cache listed here.

The Intel Xeon 6520P 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 6520P does not include integrated graphics, so a discrete graphics card is required for display output.

The Intel Xeon 6520P uses the FCLGA4710 socket, supports PCI Express 5.0 and provides up to 88 PCIe lanes.

The Intel Xeon 6520P has a rated TDP of 210 W.
