Intel® Xeon™ 6973P-C

The Intel Xeon 6973P-C is a server processor with 1 cores and 2 threads. It launched in 2026. A 480-MB L3 cache backs the cores (482.1 MB per core). Notable platform capabilities: AMX (Advanced Matrix Extensions), AMX, AVX-512, Extended Page Tables (EPT).

The Intel Xeon 6973P-C scores 3,396 in single-core performance and 4,119 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 3,740 for overall performance, 7,432 for productivity performance, 8,378 for creator performance, 3,771 for engineering performance and 11,218 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 4,119 per core and 2,060 per thread. Its performance index is 46, so its overall performance is 54% below 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 6973P-C scores 10,372 in integer math, 8,256 in floating-point math, 42,048 in compression, 2,090 in cryptography, 418 in physics simulation, 3,261 in vector SIMD, 29 in the prime sieve and 4,462 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 82% below in integer math, 82% below in floating-point math, 82% below in compression, 82% below in cryptography, 62% below in physics simulation, 79% below in vector SIMD, 57% below in the prime sieve and 80% below 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 6973P-C has 1 physical core and runs 2 logical threads.

The Intel Xeon 6973P-C is a server processor and belongs to the Intel Xeon 6 family. It launched in 2026.

The Intel Xeon 6973P-C has 112 KB of L1 cache, 2 MB of L2 cache and 480 MB of L3 cache. That adds up to about 482.1 MB of cache, or 482.11 MB per core. Each core has 2 MB of private L2 cache.

The Intel Xeon 6973P-C has a 3-level cache hierarchy: L1 at 112 KB, L2 at 2 MB and L3 at 480 MB. L3 is the largest level and makes up about 100% of the cache listed here.

The Intel Xeon 6973P-C does not include integrated graphics, so a discrete graphics card is required for display output.

Instruction sets, security, virtualization, AI acceleration and OS readiness. Features are listed as supported, explicitly not supported, or not recorded; a feature that is not recorded is not the same as unsupported.
