Intel® Xeon™ Silver 4116

The Intel Xeon Silver 4116 is a server processor with 12 cores and 24 threads, built on the Skylake architecture. It launched in Jul 2017. Clocks run from 2.1 GHz base to 3.0 GHz boost. A 16.5-MB L3 cache backs the cores (2.4 MB per core). It addresses DDR4 memory up to 768 GB across 6 channels. The chip drops into the FCLGA3647 socket and exposes PCIe 3.0 (48 lanes). Rated TDP is 85 W. Notable platform capabilities: AVX-512, Extended Page Tables (EPT).

The Intel Xeon Silver 4116 scores 1,680 in single-core performance and 14,944 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 5,011 for overall performance, 12,066 for productivity performance, 11,243 for creator performance, 16,252 for engineering performance and 8,776 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 1,245 per core, 623 per thread and 176 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 544. Its performance index is 62, so its overall performance is 38% below 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 Silver 4116 scores 51,864 in integer math, 31,831 in floating-point math, 225,317 in compression, 5,598 in cryptography, 1,058 in physics simulation, 14,095 in vector SIMD, 67 in the prime sieve and 28,455 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 12% below in integer math, 31% below in floating-point math, 1% below in compression, 51% below in cryptography, 3% below in physics simulation, 9% below in vector SIMD, equal in the prime sieve and 26% 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 Silver 4116 has 12 physical cores and runs 24 logical threads. It runs 2 threads per core. It runs at a base clock of 2.10 GHz and boosts up to 3.00 GHz.

The Intel Xeon Silver 4116 is a server processor, belongs to the Intel Xeon Silver family, uses the Skylake architecture, carries the codename Skylake and is manufactured on a 14 nm process. It launched in Jul 2017.

The Intel Xeon Silver 4116 has 768 KB of L1 cache, 12 MB of L2 cache and 16.5 MB of L3 cache. That adds up to about 29.3 MB of cache, or 2.44 MB per core. Each core has 1 MB of private L2 cache.

The Intel Xeon Silver 4116 has a 3-level cache hierarchy: L1 at 768 KB, L2 at 12 MB and L3 at 16.5 MB. L3 is the largest level and makes up about 56% of the cache listed here.

The Intel Xeon Silver 4116 supports DDR4 memory, addresses up to 768 GB of memory and uses 6 memory channels. It does not support DDR5 and LPDDR memory.

The Intel Xeon Silver 4116 does not include integrated graphics, so a discrete graphics card is required for display output.

The Intel Xeon Silver 4116 uses the FCLGA3647 socket, supports PCI Express 3.0 and provides up to 48 PCIe lanes.

The Intel Xeon Silver 4116 has a rated TDP of 85 W.
