Overview
SummaryThe Intel Xeon E-2468 is a server processor with 8 cores and 16 threads, built on the Raptor Lake architecture. It launched in Oct 2023. Clocks run from 2.6 GHz base to 5.2 GHz boost. A 24-MB L3 cache backs the cores (5.1 MB per core). It addresses DDR5 memory up to 128 GB across 2 channels. The chip drops into the FCLGA1700 socket and exposes PCIe 5.0 (20 lanes). Rated TDP is 65 W. Notable platform capabilities: Extended Page Tables (EPT).
Performance
12 metricsThe Intel Xeon E-2468 scores 3,828 in single-core performance and 25,500 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 9,880 for overall performance, 21,934 for productivity performance, 20,915 for creator performance, 26,137 for engineering performance and 17,859 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 3,188 per core, 1,594 per thread and 392 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 1,226. Its performance index is 122, so its overall performance is 22% 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-2468 scores 85,254 in integer math, 59,319 in floating-point math, 294,756 in compression, 16,275 in cryptography, 1,915 in physics simulation, 18,222 in vector SIMD, 116 in the prime sieve and 31,958 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 45% above in integer math, 29% above in floating-point math, 29% above in compression, 42% above in cryptography, 76% above in physics simulation, 17% above in vector SIMD, 73% above in the prime sieve and 41% 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.
