Intel® Xeon™ E-2478

The Intel Xeon E-2478 is a server processor with 8 cores and 16 threads, built on the Raptor Lake architecture. It launched in Oct 2023. Clocks run from 2.8 GHz base to 5.2 GHz boost. A 24-MB L3 cache backs the cores (3.0 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 80 W. Notable platform capabilities: Extended Page Tables (EPT).

The Intel Xeon E-2478 scores 3,895 in single-core performance and 27,880 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 10,421 for overall performance, 23,575 for productivity performance, 22,345 for creator performance, 28,577 for engineering performance and 18,655 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 3,485 per core, 1,743 per thread and 349 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 1,165. Its performance index is 129, so its overall performance is 29% 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.

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 E-2478 scores 89,386 in integer math, 65,342 in floating-point math, 313,756 in compression, 17,192 in cryptography, 2,344 in physics simulation, 19,832 in vector SIMD, 130 in the prime sieve and 35,137 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 52% above in integer math, 42% above in floating-point math, 38% above in compression, 50% above in cryptography, 115% above in physics simulation, 28% above in vector SIMD, 94% above in the prime sieve and 55% 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.
