Intel® Xeon™ E3-1270 V2

The Intel Xeon E3-1270 V2 is a server processor with 4 cores and 8 threads, built on the Ivy Bridge architecture. It launched in Apr 2012. Clocks run from 3.5 GHz base to 3.9 GHz boost. A 8-MB L3 cache backs the cores (2.3 MB per core). It addresses DDR3 memory up to 32.77 GB across 2 channels. The chip drops into the FCLGA1155 socket and exposes PCIe 3.0. Rated TDP is 69 W. Notable platform capabilities: Extended Page Tables (EPT).

The Intel Xeon E3-1270 V2 scores 2,076 in single-core performance and 6,481 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 3,668 for overall performance, 7,119 for productivity performance, 7,301 for creator performance, 6,238 for engineering performance and 7,848 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 1,620 per core, 810 per thread and 94 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 442. Its performance index is 45, so its overall performance is 55% 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.

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 E3-1270 V2 scores 23,094 in integer math, 11,680 in floating-point math, 106,253 in compression, 1,885 in cryptography, 473 in physics simulation, 4,503 in vector SIMD, 30 in the prime sieve and 14,235 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 61% below in integer math, 75% below in floating-point math, 53% below in compression, 84% below in cryptography, 57% below in physics simulation, 71% below in vector SIMD, 55% below in the prime sieve and 37% below 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.

The Intel Xeon E3-1270 V2 has 4 physical cores and runs 8 logical threads. It runs 2 threads per core. It runs at a base clock of 3.50 GHz and boosts up to 3.90 GHz.
