Overview
SummaryThe Intel Xeon D-1581 is a server processor with 16 cores and 32 threads. It launched in 2016. Clocks run from 1.8 GHz base to 2.4 GHz boost. A 24-MB L3 cache backs the cores (1.8 MB per core). It supports DDR3L, DDR4 memory. It uses the FCBGA1667 socket. Rated TDP is 65 W.
Performance
12 metricsThe Intel Xeon D-1581 scores 1,488 in single-core performance and 13,173 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 4,427 for overall performance, 10,646 for productivity performance, 9,924 for creator performance, 15,149 for engineering performance and 7,757 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 823 per core, 412 per thread and 203 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 549. Its performance index is 55, so its overall performance is 45% 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.
How these scores are computed
Single-core and multi-core performance are PassMark CPU Mark single-thread and multi-thread ratings. Every other figure on this page's performance section is computed by Feex from those two ratings plus core count, thread count and TDP, so it is a derived value and not a separate benchmark run.
- Overall performance is the geometric mean of the two ratings: the square root of single-core times multi-core.
- Productivity performance is 0.65 times multi-core plus 1.4 times single-core.
- Creator performance is 0.55 times multi-core plus 1.8 times single-core.
- Engineering performance is multi-core times the smaller of 1.4 and (0.9 plus cores divided by 64).
- Gaming performance is 3 times single-core plus 0.25 times multi-core.
- Performance per core, per thread and per watt divide the multi-core rating by physical cores, logical threads and TDP in watts.
- The efficiency index is the square root of single-core times multi-core, divided by the square root of TDP.
- The performance index is overall performance divided by the overall performance of the Intel Core i5-12400 (8,069), times 100.
Workload Benchmarks
8 workloadsScores 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 D-1581 scores 64,938 in integer math, 42,323 in floating-point math, 279,835 in compression, 3,773 in cryptography, 504 in physics simulation, 15,085 in vector SIMD, 36 in the prime sieve and 30,613 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 10% above in integer math, 8% below in floating-point math, 23% above in compression, 67% below in cryptography, 54% below in physics simulation, 3% below in vector SIMD, 46% below in the prime sieve and 35% 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.
