Intel® Xeon™ Max 9462

The Intel Xeon Max 9462 is a server processor with 32 cores and 64 threads, built on the Sapphire Rapids architecture. It launched in Jan 2023. Clocks run from 2.7 GHz base to 3.5 GHz boost. A 75-MB L3 cache backs the cores (4.4 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 350 W. Notable platform capabilities: AMX (Advanced Matrix Extensions), AMX, AVX-512, Extended Page Tables (EPT).

The Intel Xeon Max 9462 scores 2,575 in single-core performance and 44,153 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 10,663 for overall performance, 32,304 for productivity performance, 28,919 for creator performance, 61,814 for engineering performance and 18,763 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 1,380 per core, 690 per thread and 126 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 570. Its performance index is 132, so its overall performance is 32% 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 Max 9462 scores 255,830 in integer math, 199,569 in floating-point math, 990,966 in compression, 29,832 in cryptography, 1,122 in physics simulation, 79,114 in vector SIMD, 64 in the prime sieve and 99,127 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 334% above in integer math, 335% above in floating-point math, 335% above in compression, 160% above in cryptography, 3% above in physics simulation, 410% above in vector SIMD, 4% below in the prime sieve and 338% 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 Max 9462 has 32 physical cores and runs 64 logical threads. It runs 2 threads per core. It runs at a base clock of 2.70 GHz and boosts up to 3.50 GHz.

The Intel Xeon Max 9462 is a server processor, belongs to the Intel Xeon Max family, uses the Sapphire Rapids architecture and carries the codename Sapphire Rapids HBM. It launched in Jan 2023.

The Intel Xeon Max 9462 has 2.50 MB of L1 cache, 64 MB of L2 cache and 75 MB of L3 cache. That adds up to about 141.5 MB of cache, or 4.42 MB per core. Each core has 2 MB of private L2 cache.

The Intel Xeon Max 9462 has a 3-level cache hierarchy: L1 at 2.5 MB, L2 at 64 MB and L3 at 75 MB. L3 is the largest level and makes up about 53% of the cache listed here.

The Intel Xeon Max 9462 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 Max 9462 does not include integrated graphics, so a discrete graphics card is required for display output.

The Intel Xeon Max 9462 uses the FCLGA4677 socket, supports PCI Express 5.0 and provides up to 80 PCIe lanes.

The Intel Xeon Max 9462 has a rated TDP of 350 W.
