Intel® Xeon™ Platinum 8480C

The Intel Xeon Platinum 8480C is a server processor with 56 cores and 112 threads, built on the Sapphire Rapids architecture. Clocks run from 2.0 GHz base to 3.8 GHz boost. A 105-MB L3 cache backs the cores (4.0 MB per core). It uses the FCLGA4677 socket. Rated TDP is 350 W. Notable platform capabilities: AMX (Advanced Matrix Extensions), AMX, AVX-512, Extended Page Tables (EPT).

The Intel Xeon Platinum 8480C scores 2,370 in single-core performance and 73,247 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 13,176 for overall performance, 50,929 for productivity performance, 44,552 for creator performance, 102,546 for engineering performance and 25,422 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 1,308 per core, 654 per thread and 209 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 704. Its performance index is 163, so its overall performance is 63% 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 8480C scores 395,846 in integer math, 326,617 in floating-point math, 1,572,029 in compression, 79,240 in cryptography, 2,543 in physics simulation, 127,244 in vector SIMD, 405 in the prime sieve and 167,954 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 572% above in integer math, 612% above in floating-point math, 589% above in compression, 590% above in cryptography, 133% above in physics simulation, 720% above in vector SIMD, 504% above in the prime sieve and 641% 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 8480C has 56 physical cores and runs 112 logical threads. It does not use a hybrid performance and efficiency core layout. It runs 2 threads per core. It runs at a base clock of 2.00 GHz and boosts up to 3.80 GHz.
