Intel® Xeon™ E5-2440

The Intel Xeon E5-2440 is a server processor with 6 cores and 12 threads, built on the Sandy Bridge architecture. It launched in Apr 2012. Clocks run from 2.4 GHz base to 2.9 GHz boost. A 15-MB L3 cache backs the cores (2.8 MB per core). It addresses DDR3 memory up to 384 GB across 3 channels. The chip drops into the FCLGA1356 socket and exposes PCIe 3.0 (24 lanes). Rated TDP is 95 W. Notable platform capabilities: Extended Page Tables (EPT).

The Intel Xeon E5-2440 scores 1,304 in single-core performance and 6,091 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 2,818 for overall performance, 5,785 for productivity performance, 5,697 for creator performance, 6,053 for engineering performance and 5,435 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 1,015 per core, 508 per thread and 64 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 289. Its performance index is 35, so its overall performance is 65% 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 E5-2440 scores 24,413 in integer math, 9,062 in floating-point math, 103,116 in compression, 1,869 in cryptography, 419 in physics simulation, 4,615 in vector SIMD, 30 in the prime sieve and 15,427 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 59% below in integer math, 80% below in floating-point math, 55% below in compression, 84% below in cryptography, 62% below in physics simulation, 70% below in vector SIMD, 55% below in the prime sieve and 32% 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 E5-2440 has 6 physical cores and runs 12 logical threads. It runs 2 threads per core. It runs at a base clock of 2.40 GHz and boosts up to 2.90 GHz.
