Intel® Xeon™ Gold 6530

The Intel Xeon Gold 6530 is a server processor with 32 cores and 64 threads, built on the Emerald Rapids architecture. It launched in Oct 2023. Clocks run from 2.1 GHz base to 4.0 GHz boost. A 160-MB L3 cache backs the cores (5.0 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 270 W. Notable platform capabilities: AMX (Advanced Matrix Extensions), AMX, AVX-512, Extended Page Tables (EPT).

The Intel Xeon Gold 6530 scores 2,494 in single-core performance and 48,749 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 11,026 for overall performance, 35,178 for productivity performance, 31,301 for creator performance, 68,249 for engineering performance and 19,669 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 1,523 per core, 762 per thread and 181 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 671. Its performance index is 137, so its overall performance is 37% 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 6530 scores 176,938 in integer math, 135,200 in floating-point math, 732,282 in compression, 39,404 in cryptography, 3,226 in physics simulation, 64,031 in vector SIMD, 286 in the prime sieve and 81,052 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 200% above in integer math, 195% above in floating-point math, 221% above in compression, 243% above in cryptography, 196% above in physics simulation, 313% above in vector SIMD, 327% above in the prime sieve and 258% 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 6530 has 32 physical cores and runs 64 logical threads. It runs 2 threads per core. It runs at a base clock of 2.10 GHz and boosts up to 4.00 GHz.

The Intel Xeon Gold 6530 is a server processor, belongs to the Intel Xeon Gold family, uses the Emerald Rapids architecture and carries the codename Emerald Rapids. It launched in Oct 2023.

The Intel Xeon Gold 6530 has 160 MB of L3 cache. That adds up to about 160.0 MB of cache, or 5.00 MB per core. Feex has no recorded L1 cache size for this processor.

The Intel Xeon Gold 6530 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 6530 does not include integrated graphics, so a discrete graphics card is required for display output.

The Intel Xeon Gold 6530 uses the FCLGA4677 socket, supports PCI Express 5.0 and provides up to 80 PCIe lanes.

The Intel Xeon Gold 6530 has a rated TDP of 270 W.
