Intel® Xeon™ Platinum 8461V

The Intel Xeon Platinum 8461V is a server processor with 48 cores and 96 threads, built on the Sapphire Rapids architecture. It launched in Jan 2023. Clocks run from 2.2 GHz base to 3.7 GHz boost. A 97.5-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 300 W. Notable platform capabilities: AMX (Advanced Matrix Extensions), AMX, AVX-512, Extended Page Tables (EPT).

The Intel Xeon Platinum 8461V scores 2,855 in single-core performance and 74,982 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 14,631 for overall performance, 52,735 for productivity performance, 46,379 for creator performance, 104,975 for engineering performance and 27,311 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 1,562 per core, 781 per thread and 250 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 845. Its performance index is 181, so its overall performance is 81% 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 Platinum 8461V scores 288,804 in integer math, 260,436 in floating-point math, 1,216,407 in compression, 59,717 in cryptography, 7,617 in physics simulation, 103,987 in vector SIMD, 647 in the prime sieve and 119,023 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 390% above in integer math, 467% above in floating-point math, 433% above in compression, 420% above in cryptography, 599% above in physics simulation, 570% above in vector SIMD, 866% above in the prime sieve and 425% 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 Platinum 8461V has 48 physical cores and runs 96 logical threads. It runs 2 threads per core. It runs at a base clock of 2.20 GHz and boosts up to 3.70 GHz.

The Intel Xeon Platinum 8461V is a server processor, belongs to the Intel Xeon Platinum family, uses the Sapphire Rapids architecture and carries the codename Sapphire Rapids. It launched in Jan 2023.

The Intel Xeon Platinum 8461V has 3.75 MB of L1 cache, 96 MB of L2 cache and 97.5 MB of L3 cache. That adds up to about 197.3 MB of cache, or 4.11 MB per core. Each core has 2 MB of private L2 cache.

The Intel Xeon Platinum 8461V has a 3-level cache hierarchy: L1 at 3.8 MB, L2 at 96 MB and L3 at 97.5 MB. L3 is the largest level and makes up about 49% of the cache listed here.

The Intel Xeon Platinum 8461V 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 Platinum 8461V does not include integrated graphics, so a discrete graphics card is required for display output.

The Intel Xeon Platinum 8461V uses the FCLGA4677 socket, supports PCI Express 5.0 and provides up to 80 PCIe lanes.

The Intel Xeon Platinum 8461V has a rated TDP of 300 W.
