Intel® Xeon™ Gold 6278C

The Intel Xeon Gold 6278C is a server processor with 26 cores and 52 threads. Clocks run from 2.6 GHz base to 3.5 GHz boost. A 35.75-MB L3 cache backs the cores (1.4 MB per core). It supports DDR4 memory. It uses the FCLGA3647 socket. Rated TDP is 185 W. Notable platform capabilities: AVX-512, Extended Page Tables (EPT).

The Intel Xeon Gold 6278C scores 2,019 in single-core performance and 32,835 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 8,142 for overall performance, 24,169 for productivity performance, 21,693 for creator performance, 42,891 for engineering performance and 14,266 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 1,263 per core, 631 per thread and 178 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 599. 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 6278C.

The Intel Xeon Gold 6278C has 26 physical cores and runs 52 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 2.60 GHz and boosts up to 3.50 GHz.
