Intel® Xeon™ Silver 4309Y

The Intel Xeon Silver 4309Y is a server processor with 8 cores and 16 threads, built on the Ice Lake architecture. It launched in Apr 2021. Clocks run from 2.8 GHz base to 3.6 GHz boost. A 12-MB L3 cache backs the cores (2.8 MB per core). It addresses DDR4 memory up to 6 GB across 8 channels. The chip drops into the FCLGA4189 socket and exposes PCIe 4.0 (64 lanes). Rated TDP is 105 W. Notable platform capabilities: AVX-512, Extended Page Tables (EPT).

The Intel Xeon Silver 4309Y scores 2,397 in single-core performance and 18,887 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 6,728 for overall performance, 15,632 for productivity performance, 14,702 for creator performance, 19,359 for engineering performance and 11,913 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 2,361 per core, 1,180 per thread and 180 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 657. Its performance index is 83, so its overall performance is 17% 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 4309Y scores 59,078 in integer math, 37,145 in floating-point math, 227,935 in compression, 11,921 in cryptography, 1,095 in physics simulation, 18,446 in vector SIMD, 70 in the prime sieve and 28,107 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is equal in integer math, 19% below in floating-point math, equal in compression, 4% above in cryptography, equal in physics simulation, 19% above in vector SIMD, 4% above in the prime sieve and 24% 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 4309Y has 8 physical cores and runs 16 logical threads. It runs 2 threads per core. It runs at a base clock of 2.80 GHz and boosts up to 3.60 GHz.

The Intel Xeon Silver 4309Y is a server processor, belongs to the Intel Xeon Silver family, uses the Ice Lake architecture, carries the codename Ice Lake and is manufactured on a 10 nm process. It launched in Apr 2021.

The Intel Xeon Silver 4309Y has 640 KB of L1 cache, 10 MB of L2 cache and 12 MB of L3 cache. That adds up to about 22.6 MB of cache, or 2.83 MB per core. Each core has 1.25 MB of private L2 cache.

The Intel Xeon Silver 4309Y has a 3-level cache hierarchy: L1 at 640 KB, L2 at 10 MB and L3 at 12 MB. L3 is the largest level and makes up about 53% of the cache listed here.

The Intel Xeon Silver 4309Y supports DDR4 memory, addresses up to 6 GB of memory, uses 8 memory channels, runs memory at up to 2,666 MT/s and delivers up to 170.6 GB/s of memory bandwidth. It does not support DDR5 and LPDDR memory.

The Intel Xeon Silver 4309Y does not include integrated graphics, so a discrete graphics card is required for display output.

The Intel Xeon Silver 4309Y uses the FCLGA4189 socket, supports PCI Express 4.0 and provides up to 64 PCIe lanes.

The Intel Xeon Silver 4309Y has a rated TDP of 105 W.
