Intel® Xeon™ Bronze 3508U

The Intel Xeon Bronze 3508U is a server processor with 8 cores and 8 threads, built on the Sapphire Rapids architecture. It launched in Oct 2023. Clocks run from 2.1 GHz base to 2.2 GHz boost. A 22.5-MB L3 cache backs the cores (4.9 MB per core). It addresses DDR5 memory up to 4 GB across 8 channels. The chip drops into the FCLGA4677 socket and exposes PCIe 4.0 (80 lanes). Rated TDP is 125 W. Notable platform capabilities: AMX, AVX-512, Extended Page Tables (EPT), Control-flow Enforcement (CET).

The Intel Xeon Bronze 3508U scores 1,702 in single-core performance and 11,248 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 4,375 for overall performance, 9,694 for productivity performance, 9,250 for creator performance, 11,529 for engineering performance and 7,918 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 1,406 per core, 1,406 per thread and 90 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 391. Its performance index is 54, so its overall performance is 46% 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 Bronze 3508U scores 26,129 in integer math, 33,551 in floating-point math, 102,466 in compression, 6,064 in cryptography, 1,215 in physics simulation, 11,244 in vector SIMD, 133 in the prime sieve and 14,500 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 56% below in integer math, 27% below in floating-point math, 55% below in compression, 47% below in cryptography, 11% above in physics simulation, 28% below in vector SIMD, 99% above in the prime sieve and 36% 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 Bronze 3508U has 8 physical cores and runs 8 logical threads. It does not support simultaneous multithreading, so its thread count equals its core count. It runs at a base clock of 2.10 GHz and boosts up to 2.20 GHz.

The Intel Xeon Bronze 3508U is a server processor, belongs to the Intel Xeon Bronze family, uses the Sapphire Rapids architecture and carries the codename Sapphire Rapids. It launched in Oct 2023.

The Intel Xeon Bronze 3508U has 640 KB of L1 cache, 16 MB of L2 cache and 22.5 MB of L3 cache. That adds up to about 39.1 MB of cache, or 4.89 MB per core. Each core has 2 MB of private L2 cache.

The Intel Xeon Bronze 3508U has a 3-level cache hierarchy: L1 at 640 KB, L2 at 16 MB and L3 at 22.5 MB. L3 is the largest level and makes up about 58% of the cache listed here.

The Intel Xeon Bronze 3508U 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 Bronze 3508U does not include integrated graphics, so a discrete graphics card is required for display output.

The Intel Xeon Bronze 3508U uses the FCLGA4677 socket, supports PCI Express 4.0 and provides up to 80 PCIe lanes.

The Intel Xeon Bronze 3508U has a rated TDP of 125 W.
