Intel® Xeon™ Gold 6258R

The Intel Xeon Gold 6258R is a server processor with 28 cores and 56 threads, built on the Cascade Lake architecture. It launched in Jan 2020. Clocks run from 2.7 GHz base to 4.0 GHz boost. A 38.5-MB L3 cache backs the cores (2.4 MB per core). It addresses DDR4 memory up to 1024 GB across 6 channels. The chip drops into the FCLGA3647 socket and exposes PCIe 3.0 (48 lanes). Rated TDP is 205 W. Notable platform capabilities: AVX-512, Extended Page Tables (EPT).

The Intel Xeon Gold 6258R scores 2,192 in single-core performance and 37,774 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 9,099 for overall performance, 27,622 for productivity performance, 24,721 for creator performance, 50,523 for engineering performance and 16,020 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 1,349 per core, 675 per thread and 184 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 636. Its performance index is 113, so its overall performance is 13% 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.

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 6258R scores 173,339 in integer math, 106,785 in floating-point math, 697,379 in compression, 14,531 in cryptography, 2,196 in physics simulation, 53,891 in vector SIMD, 161 in the prime sieve and 89,197 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 194% above in integer math, 133% above in floating-point math, 206% above in compression, 26% above in cryptography, 101% above in physics simulation, 247% above in vector SIMD, 140% above in the prime sieve and 294% 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 6258R has 28 physical cores and runs 56 logical threads. It runs 2 threads per core. It runs at a base clock of 2.70 GHz and boosts up to 4.00 GHz.

The Intel Xeon Gold 6258R is a server processor, belongs to the Intel Xeon Gold family, uses the Cascade Lake architecture, carries the codename Cascade Lake and is manufactured on a 14 nm process. It launched in Jan 2020.

The Intel Xeon Gold 6258R has 64 KB of L1 cache, 28 MB of L2 cache and 38.5 MB of L3 cache. That adds up to about 66.6 MB of cache, or 2.38 MB per core.

The Intel Xeon Gold 6258R has a 3-level cache hierarchy: L1 at 64 KB, L2 at 28 MB and L3 at 38.5 MB. L3 is the largest level and makes up about 58% of the cache listed here.

The Intel Xeon Gold 6258R supports DDR4 memory, addresses up to 1,024 GB of memory, uses 6 memory channels, runs memory at up to 2,933 MT/s and delivers up to 140.8 GB/s of memory bandwidth. It does not support DDR5 and LPDDR memory.

The Intel Xeon Gold 6258R does not include integrated graphics, so a discrete graphics card is required for display output.

The Intel Xeon Gold 6258R uses the FCLGA3647 socket, supports PCI Express 3.0 and provides up to 48 PCIe lanes.

The Intel Xeon Gold 6258R has a rated TDP of 205 W.
