Intel® Xeon™ Gold 6253CL

The Intel Xeon Gold 6253CL is a server processor with 18 cores and 36 threads. Clocks run from 3.1 GHz base to 3.9 GHz boost. A 24.75-MB L3 cache backs the cores (1.4 MB per core). It supports DDR4 memory. It uses the FCLGA3647 socket. Rated TDP is 205 W. Notable platform capabilities: AVX-512, Extended Page Tables (EPT).

The Intel Xeon Gold 6253CL scores 2,311 in single-core performance and 28,549 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 8,123 for overall performance, 21,792 for productivity performance, 19,862 for creator performance, 33,724 for engineering performance and 14,070 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 1,586 per core, 793 per thread and 139 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 567. Its performance index is 101, so its overall performance is 1% above 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.

Workload sub-scores (integer math, floating point, compression, encryption, physics, SIMD, prime sieve and sorting) are not recorded for the Intel Xeon Gold 6253CL.

The Intel Xeon Gold 6253CL has 18 physical cores and runs 36 logical threads. It does not use a hybrid performance and efficiency core layout. It runs 2 threads per core. It runs at a base clock of 3.10 GHz and boosts up to 3.90 GHz.
