Intel® Xeon™ E5-2603 v4

The Intel Xeon E5-2603 v4 is a server processor with 6 cores and 6 threads, built on the Broadwell architecture. It launched in Jan 2016. A 15-MB L3 cache backs the cores (2.8 MB per core). It addresses DDR4 memory up to 1536 GB across 4 channels. The chip drops into the FCLGA2011 socket and exposes PCIe 3.0 (40 lanes). Rated TDP is 85 W. Notable platform capabilities: Extended Page Tables (EPT).

The Intel Xeon E5-2603 v4 scores 1,065 in single-core performance and 4,343 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 2,151 for overall performance, 4,314 for productivity performance, 4,306 for creator performance, 4,316 for engineering performance and 4,281 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 724 per core, 724 per thread and 51 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 233. Its performance index is 27, so its overall performance is 73% 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 E5-2603 v4 scores 11,717 in integer math, 10,554 in floating-point math, 59,152 in compression, 1,049 in cryptography, 510 in physics simulation, 4,915 in vector SIMD, 45 in the prime sieve and 7,763 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 80% below in integer math, 77% below in floating-point math, 74% below in compression, 91% below in cryptography, 53% below in physics simulation, 68% below in vector SIMD, 33% below in the prime sieve and 66% 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 E5-2603 v4 has 6 physical cores and runs 6 logical threads. It does not support simultaneous multithreading, so its thread count equals its core count. It runs at a base clock of 1.70 GHz.

The Intel Xeon E5-2603 v4 is a server processor, belongs to the Intel Xeon E5 family, uses the Broadwell architecture, carries the codename Broadwell and is manufactured on a 14 nm process. It launched in Jan 2016.

The Intel Xeon E5-2603 v4 has 256 KB of L1 cache, 1.50 MB of L2 cache and 15 MB of L3 cache. That adds up to about 16.8 MB of cache, or 2.79 MB per core.

The Intel Xeon E5-2603 v4 has a 3-level cache hierarchy: L1 at 256 KB, L2 at 1.5 MB and L3 at 15 MB. L3 is the largest level and makes up about 90% of the cache listed here.

The Intel Xeon E5-2603 v4 supports DDR4 memory, addresses up to 1,536 GB of memory, uses 4 memory channels, runs memory at up to 1,866 MT/s and delivers up to 59.7 GB/s of memory bandwidth. It does not support DDR5 and LPDDR memory.
