Overview
SummaryThe Intel Xeon E5-1680 v2 is a server processor with 8 cores and 16 threads, built on the Ivy Bridge architecture. It launched in Sep 2013. Clocks run from 3.0 GHz base to 3.9 GHz boost. A 25-MB L3 cache backs the cores (3.4 MB per core). It supports DDR3 memory. It uses the FCLGA2011 socket. Rated TDP is 130 W.
Performance
12 metricsThe Intel Xeon E5-1680 v2 scores 2,072 in single-core performance and 12,371 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 5,063 for overall performance, 10,942 for productivity performance, 10,534 for creator performance, 12,680 for engineering performance and 9,309 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 1,546 per core, 773 per thread and 95 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 444. Its performance index is 63, so its overall performance is 37% 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.
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 E5-1680 v2 scores 45,404 in integer math, 22,928 in floating-point math, 215,507 in compression, 3,786 in cryptography, 1,002 in physics simulation, 8,768 in vector SIMD, 68 in the prime sieve and 27,371 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 23% below in integer math, 50% below in floating-point math, 6% below in compression, 67% below in cryptography, 8% below in physics simulation, 43% below in vector SIMD, 1% above in the prime sieve and 21% 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.
