Intel® Xeon™ Gold 6150

The Intel Xeon Gold 6150 is a server processor with 18 cores and 36 threads, built on the Skylake architecture. It launched in Jul 2017. Clocks run from 2.7 GHz base to 3.7 GHz boost. A 24.75-MB L3 cache backs the cores (2.4 MB per core). It addresses DDR4 memory up to 768 GB across 6 channels. The chip drops into the FCLGA3647 socket and exposes PCIe 3.0 (48 lanes). Rated TDP is 165 W. Notable platform capabilities: AVX-512, Extended Page Tables (EPT).

The Intel Xeon Gold 6150 scores 2,128 in single-core performance and 27,032 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 7,584 for overall performance, 20,550 for productivity performance, 18,698 for creator performance, 31,932 for engineering performance and 13,142 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 1,502 per core, 751 per thread and 164 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 590. Its performance index is 94, so its overall performance is 6% 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 Gold 6150 scores 110,454 in integer math, 67,738 in floating-point math, 467,451 in compression, 9,989 in cryptography, 1,433 in physics simulation, 35,231 in vector SIMD, 104 in the prime sieve and 58,946 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 88% above in integer math, 48% above in floating-point math, 105% above in compression, 13% below in cryptography, 31% above in physics simulation, 127% above in vector SIMD, 55% above in the prime sieve and 160% 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 Gold 6150 has 18 physical cores and runs 36 logical threads. It runs 2 threads per core. It runs at a base clock of 2.70 GHz and boosts up to 3.70 GHz.

The Intel Xeon Gold 6150 is a server processor, belongs to the Intel Xeon Gold family, uses the Skylake architecture, carries the codename Skylake and is manufactured on a 14 nm process. It launched in Jul 2017.

The Intel Xeon Gold 6150 has 1 MB of L1 cache, 18 MB of L2 cache and 24.8 MB of L3 cache. That adds up to about 43.8 MB of cache, or 2.43 MB per core.

The Intel Xeon Gold 6150 has a 3-level cache hierarchy: L1 at 1 MB, L2 at 18 MB and L3 at 24.8 MB. L3 is the largest level and makes up about 57% of the cache listed here.

The Intel Xeon Gold 6150 supports DDR4 memory, addresses up to 768 GB of memory and uses 6 memory channels. It does not support DDR5 and LPDDR memory.

The Intel Xeon Gold 6150 does not include integrated graphics, so a discrete graphics card is required for display output.

The Intel Xeon Gold 6150 uses the FCLGA3647 socket, supports PCI Express 3.0 and provides up to 48 PCIe lanes.

The Intel Xeon Gold 6150 has a rated TDP of 165 W.
