Overview
SummaryThe Intel Xeon E3-1205 v6 is a server processor with 4 cores and 4 threads. It launched in Mar 2017. A 8-MB L3 cache backs the cores (2.3 MB per core). It uses the FCLGA1151 socket. Rated TDP is 65 W.
Performance
12 metricsThe Intel Xeon E3-1205 v6 scores 1,875 in single-core performance and 5,682 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 3,264 for overall performance, 6,318 for productivity performance, 6,500 for creator performance, 5,469 for engineering performance and 7,046 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 1,421 per core, 1,421 per thread and 87 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 405. Its performance index is 40, so its overall performance is 60% 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.
Workload sub-scores (integer math, floating point, compression, encryption, physics, SIMD, prime sieve and sorting) are not recorded for the Intel Xeon E3-1205 v6.
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.
Core Configuration
6 specsThe Intel Xeon E3-1205 v6 has 4 physical cores and runs 4 logical threads. It does not use a hybrid performance and efficiency core layout. It does not support simultaneous multithreading, so its thread count equals its core count. It runs at a base clock of 3.00 GHz.
