Intel® Xeon™ Platinum 8488C

The Intel Xeon Platinum 8488C is a server processor with 48 cores and 96 threads, built on the Sapphire Rapids architecture. Clocks run from 2.4 GHz base to 3.8 GHz boost. A 105-MB L3 cache backs the cores (2.2 MB per core). Rated TDP is 385 W. Notable platform capabilities: AMX (Advanced Matrix Extensions), AMX, AVX-512, Extended Page Tables (EPT).

The Intel Xeon Platinum 8488C scores 3,113 in single-core performance and 88,667 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 16,614 for overall performance, 61,992 for productivity performance, 54,370 for creator performance, 124,134 for engineering performance and 31,506 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 1,847 per core, 924 per thread and 230 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 847. Its performance index is 206, so its overall performance is 106% 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.

Workload sub-scores (integer math, floating point, compression, encryption, physics, SIMD, prime sieve and sorting) are not recorded for the Intel Xeon Platinum 8488C.

The Intel Xeon Platinum 8488C has 48 physical cores and runs 96 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 2.40 GHz and boosts up to 3.80 GHz.
