Intel® Xeon™ Gold 6434H

The Intel Xeon Gold 6434H is a server processor with 8 cores and 16 threads, built on the Sapphire Rapids architecture. It launched in Jan 2023. Clocks run from 3.7 GHz base to 4.1 GHz boost. A 22.5-MB L3 cache backs the cores (2.8 MB per core). It addresses DDR5 memory up to 4 GB across 8 channels. The chip drops into the FCLGA4677 socket and exposes PCIe 5.0 (80 lanes). Rated TDP is 195 W. Notable platform capabilities: AMX (Advanced Matrix Extensions), AMX, AVX-512, Extended Page Tables (EPT).

The Intel Xeon Gold 6434H scores 3,353 in single-core performance and 29,606 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 9,963 for overall performance, 23,938 for productivity performance, 22,319 for creator performance, 30,346 for engineering performance and 17,461 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 3,701 per core, 1,850 per thread and 152 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 714. Its performance index is 123, so its overall performance is 23% 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 6434H scores 87,692 in integer math, 62,529 in floating-point math, 316,399 in compression, 19,545 in cryptography, 2,919 in physics simulation, 24,597 in vector SIMD, 129 in the prime sieve and 44,311 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 49% above in integer math, 36% above in floating-point math, 39% above in compression, 70% above in cryptography, 168% above in physics simulation, 59% above in vector SIMD, 93% above in the prime sieve and 96% 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 6434H has 8 physical cores and runs 16 logical threads. It runs 2 threads per core. It runs at a base clock of 3.70 GHz and boosts up to 4.10 GHz.

The Intel Xeon Gold 6434H is a server processor, belongs to the Intel Xeon Gold family, uses the Sapphire Rapids architecture and carries the codename Sapphire Rapids. It launched in Jan 2023.

The Intel Xeon Gold 6434H has 22.5 MB of L3 cache. That adds up to about 22.5 MB of cache, or 2.81 MB per core. Feex has no recorded L1 cache size for this processor.

The Intel Xeon Gold 6434H supports DDR5 memory, addresses up to 4 GB of memory and uses 8 memory channels. It does not support DDR4 and LPDDR memory.

The Intel Xeon Gold 6434H does not include integrated graphics, so a discrete graphics card is required for display output.

The Intel Xeon Gold 6434H uses the FCLGA4677 socket, supports PCI Express 5.0 and provides up to 80 PCIe lanes.

The Intel Xeon Gold 6434H has a rated TDP of 195 W.
