Overview
SummaryThe Intel Xeon E5-2676 v3 is a server processor with 12 cores and 24 threads, built on the Haswell architecture. It launched in 2015. Clocks run from 2.4 GHz base to 3.0 GHz boost. A 30-MB L3 cache backs the cores (2.8 MB per core). It supports DDR3, DDR4 memory. It uses the FCLGA2011-3 socket. Rated TDP is 120 W.
Performance
12 metricsThe Intel Xeon E5-2676 v3 scores 1,602 in single-core performance and 12,952 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 4,555 for overall performance, 10,662 for productivity performance, 10,007 for creator performance, 14,085 for engineering performance and 8,044 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 1,079 per core, 540 per thread and 108 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 416. Its performance index is 56, so its overall performance is 44% 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 E5-2676 v3 scores 57,378 in integer math, 28,781 in floating-point math, 237,981 in compression, 3,652 in cryptography, 635 in physics simulation, 15,053 in vector SIMD, 51 in the prime sieve and 30,624 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 3% below in integer math, 37% below in floating-point math, 4% above in compression, 68% below in cryptography, 42% below in physics simulation, 3% below in vector SIMD, 24% below in the prime sieve and 35% 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.
