Intel® Xeon™ 6780E

The Intel Xeon 6780E is a server processor with 144 cores and 144 threads, built on the Sierra Forest architecture (Intel 3 process). It launched in Apr 2024. Clocks run from 2.2 GHz base to 3.0 GHz boost. A 108-MB L3 cache backs the cores (0.8 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 330 W. Notable platform capabilities: AMX (Advanced Matrix Extensions), AMX, AVX-512, Extended Page Tables (EPT).

The Intel Xeon 6780E scores 1,923 in single-core performance and 86,734 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 12,915 for overall performance, 59,069 for productivity performance, 51,165 for creator performance, 121,428 for engineering performance and 27,453 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 602 per core, 602 per thread and 263 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 711. Its performance index is 160, so its overall performance is 60% 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 6780E scores 641,817 in integer math, 433,862 in floating-point math, 2,557,582 in compression, 193,004 in cryptography, 10,951 in physics simulation, 114,008 in vector SIMD, 708 in the prime sieve and 326,954 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 990% above in integer math, 845% above in floating-point math, 1,021% above in compression, 1,580% above in cryptography, 905% above in physics simulation, 635% above in vector SIMD, 957% above in the prime sieve and 1,343% 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 6780E has 144 physical cores and runs 144 logical threads. It does not support simultaneous multithreading, so its thread count equals its core count. It runs at a base clock of 2.20 GHz and boosts up to 3.00 GHz.

The Intel Xeon 6780E is a server processor, belongs to the Intel Xeon 6 family, uses the Sierra Forest architecture, carries the codename Sierra Forest and is manufactured on a Intel 3 process. It launched in Apr 2024.

The Intel Xeon 6780E has 108 MB of L3 cache. That adds up to about 108.0 MB of cache, or 0.75 MB per core. Feex has no recorded L1 cache size for this processor.

The Intel Xeon 6780E supports DDR5 memory, addresses up to 4 GB of memory and uses 8 memory channels. It does not support DDR4 and LPDDR memory. It supports ECC memory.

The Intel Xeon 6780E does not include integrated graphics, so a discrete graphics card is required for display output.

The Intel Xeon 6780E uses the FCLGA4710 socket, supports PCI Express 5.0 and provides up to 88 PCIe lanes.

The Intel Xeon 6780E has a rated TDP of 330 W.
