Overview
SummaryThe Intel Xeon E5-2697R v4 is a server processor with 18 cores and 36 threads, built on the Broadwell architecture. It launched in 2021. Clocks run from 2.3 GHz base to 3.6 GHz boost. A 32-MB L3 cache backs the cores (2.1 MB per core).
Performance
10 metricsThe Intel Xeon E5-2697R v4 scores 2,007 in single-core performance and 20,843 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 6,468 for overall performance, 16,358 for productivity performance, 15,076 for creator performance, 24,621 for engineering performance and 11,232 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 1,158 per core and 579 per thread. Its performance index is 80, so its overall performance is 20% 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 E5-2697R v4 scores 85,811 in integer math, 56,083 in floating-point math, 371,231 in compression, 6,596 in cryptography, 964 in physics simulation, 23,324 in vector SIMD, 90 in the prime sieve and 47,309 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 46% above in integer math, 22% above in floating-point math, 63% above in compression, 43% below in cryptography, 12% below in physics simulation, 50% above in vector SIMD, 34% above in the prime sieve and 109% 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.
