Intel® Xeon™ E3-1270 v3

The Intel Xeon E3-1270 v3 is a server processor with 4 cores and 8 threads, built on the Haswell architecture. It launched in Apr 2013. 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 GB across 2 channels. The chip drops into the FCLGA1150 socket and exposes PCIe 3.0 (16 lanes). Rated TDP is 80 W. Notable platform capabilities: Extended Page Tables (EPT).

The Intel Xeon E3-1270 v3 scores 2,187 in single-core performance and 7,231 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 3,977 for overall performance, 7,762 for productivity performance, 7,914 for creator performance, 6,960 for engineering performance and 8,369 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 1,808 per core, 904 per thread and 90 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 445. Its performance index is 49, so its overall performance is 51% 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 v3 scores 25,593 in integer math, 12,845 in floating-point math, 108,397 in compression, 2,043 in cryptography, 518 in physics simulation, 6,761 in vector SIMD, 33 in the prime sieve and 14,431 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 57% below in integer math, 72% below in floating-point math, 52% below in compression, 82% below in cryptography, 52% below in physics simulation, 56% below in vector SIMD, 51% below in the prime sieve and 36% 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 v3 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.
