Intel® Xeon™ E5-2697 v3

The Intel Xeon E5-2697 v3 is a server processor with 14 cores and 28 threads, built on the Haswell architecture. It launched in Jul 2014. Clocks run from 2.6 GHz base to 3.6 GHz boost. A 35-MB L3 cache backs the cores (2.8 MB per core). It addresses DDR4 memory up to 768 GB across 4 channels. The chip drops into the FCLGA2011 socket and exposes PCIe 3.0 (40 lanes). Rated TDP is 145 W. Notable platform capabilities: Extended Page Tables (EPT).

The Intel Xeon E5-2697 v3 scores 1,967 in single-core performance and 18,175 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 5,979 for overall performance, 14,568 for productivity performance, 13,537 for creator performance, 20,333 for engineering performance and 10,445 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 1,298 per core, 649 per thread and 125 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 497. Its performance index is 74, so its overall performance is 26% 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 E5-2697 v3 scores 78,508 in integer math, 39,274 in floating-point math, 322,639 in compression, 5,515 in cryptography, 1,007 in physics simulation, 19,374 in vector SIMD, 78 in the prime sieve and 43,089 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 33% above in integer math, 14% below in floating-point math, 41% above in compression, 52% below in cryptography, 8% below in physics simulation, 25% above in vector SIMD, 16% above in the prime sieve and 90% 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 E5-2697 v3 has 14 physical cores and runs 28 logical threads. It runs 2 threads per core. It runs at a base clock of 2.60 GHz and boosts up to 3.60 GHz.
