Overview
SummaryThe Intel Xeon E-2388G is a server processor with 8 cores and 16 threads, built on the Rocket Lake architecture. It launched in Jul 2021. Clocks run from 3.2 GHz base to 5.1 GHz boost. A 16-MB L3 cache backs the cores (2.3 MB per core). It addresses DDR4 memory up to 128 GB across 2 channels. The chip drops into the FCLGA1200 socket and exposes PCIe 4.0 (20 lanes). Rated TDP is 95 W. Notable platform capabilities: AVX-512, Extended Page Tables (EPT).
Performance
12 metricsThe Intel Xeon E-2388G scores 3,399 in single-core performance and 23,458 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 8,929 for overall performance, 20,006 for productivity performance, 19,020 for creator performance, 24,044 for engineering performance and 16,062 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 2,932 per core, 1,466 per thread and 247 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 916. Its performance index is 111, so its overall performance is 11% 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.
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 E-2388G scores 85,558 in integer math, 45,999 in floating-point math, 291,289 in compression, 16,880 in cryptography, 1,130 in physics simulation, 17,212 in vector SIMD, 72 in the prime sieve and 36,699 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 45% above in integer math, equal in floating-point math, 28% above in compression, 47% above in cryptography, 4% above in physics simulation, 11% above in vector SIMD, 7% above in the prime sieve and 62% 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.
