Intel® Xeon™ Max 9470

The Intel Xeon Max 9470 is a server processor with 52 cores and 104 threads, built on the Sapphire Rapids architecture. It launched in Jan 2023. Clocks run from 2.0 GHz base to 3.5 GHz boost. A 105-MB L3 cache backs the cores (4.1 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 9470 scores 2,248 in single-core performance and 71,232 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 12,654 for overall performance, 49,448 for productivity performance, 43,224 for creator performance, 99,725 for engineering performance and 24,552 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 1,370 per core, 685 per thread and 204 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 676. Its performance index is 157, so its overall performance is 57% 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 9470 scores 362,776 in integer math, 283,154 in floating-point math, 1,390,908 in compression, 62,184 in cryptography, 4,760 in physics simulation, 112,191 in vector SIMD, 441 in the prime sieve and 156,971 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 516% above in integer math, 517% above in floating-point math, 510% above in compression, 441% above in cryptography, 337% above in physics simulation, 623% above in vector SIMD, 558% above in the prime sieve and 593% 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 9470 has 52 physical cores and runs 104 logical threads. It runs 2 threads per core. It runs at a base clock of 2.00 GHz and boosts up to 3.50 GHz.

The Intel Xeon Max 9470 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 9470 has 4.06 MB of L1 cache, 104 MB of L2 cache and 105 MB of L3 cache. That adds up to about 213.1 MB of cache, or 4.10 MB per core. Each core has 2 MB of private L2 cache.

The Intel Xeon Max 9470 has a 3-level cache hierarchy: L1 at 4.1 MB, L2 at 104 MB and L3 at 105 MB. L3 is the largest level and makes up about 49% of the cache listed here.

The Intel Xeon Max 9470 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 9470 does not include integrated graphics, so a discrete graphics card is required for display output.

The Intel Xeon Max 9470 uses the FCLGA4677 socket, supports PCI Express 5.0 and provides up to 80 PCIe lanes.

The Intel Xeon Max 9470 has a rated TDP of 350 W.
