Intel® Xeon™ E5-2696 v4

The Intel Xeon E5-2696 v4 is a server processor with 22 cores and 44 threads, built on the Broadwell architecture. It launched in 2016. Clocks run from 2.2 GHz base to 3.6 GHz boost. A 55-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 150 W.

The Intel Xeon E5-2696 v4 scores 2,102 in single-core performance and 24,606 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 7,192 for overall performance, 18,937 for productivity performance, 17,317 for creator performance, 30,604 for engineering performance and 12,458 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 1,118 per core, 559 per thread and 164 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 587. Its performance index is 89, so its overall performance is 11% 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 E5-2696 v4 scores 107,810 in integer math, 69,886 in floating-point math, 473,589 in compression, 7,650 in cryptography, 1,216 in physics simulation, 27,988 in vector SIMD, 102 in the prime sieve and 56,282 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 83% above in integer math, 52% above in floating-point math, 108% above in compression, 33% below in cryptography, 12% above in physics simulation, 80% above in vector SIMD, 52% above in the prime sieve and 148% 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.

The Intel Xeon E5-2696 v4 has 22 physical cores and runs 44 logical threads. It runs 2 threads per core. It runs at a base clock of 2.20 GHz and boosts up to 3.60 GHz.
