Intel® Xeon™ E5-4620

The Intel Xeon E5-4620 is a server processor with 8 cores and 16 threads, built on the Sandy Bridge architecture. It launched in Apr 2012. Clocks run from 2.2 GHz base to 2.6 GHz boost. A 16-MB L3 cache backs the cores (2.3 MB per core). It addresses DDR3 memory up to 384 GB across 4 channels. The chip drops into the FCLGA2011 socket and exposes PCIe 3.0 (40 lanes). Rated TDP is 95 W. Notable platform capabilities: Extended Page Tables (EPT).

The Intel Xeon E5-4620 scores 1,168 in single-core performance and 6,752 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 2,808 for overall performance, 6,024 for productivity performance, 5,816 for creator performance, 6,921 for engineering performance and 5,192 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 844 per core, 422 per thread and 71 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 288. Its performance index is 35, so its overall performance is 65% 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 E5-4620 scores 27,141 in integer math, 10,102 in floating-point math, 116,530 in compression, 2,059 in cryptography, 555 in physics simulation, 5,384 in vector SIMD, 33 in the prime sieve and 16,345 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 54% below in integer math, 78% below in floating-point math, 49% below in compression, 82% below in cryptography, 49% below in physics simulation, 65% below in vector SIMD, 51% below in the prime sieve and 28% 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 E5-4620 has 8 physical cores and runs 16 logical threads. It runs 2 threads per core. It runs at a base clock of 2.20 GHz and boosts up to 2.60 GHz.
