Intel® Xeon™ W-1270

The Intel Xeon W-1270 is a workstation processor with 8 cores and 16 threads, built on the Comet Lake architecture (14 nm process). It launched in Apr 2020. Clocks run from 3.4 GHz base to 5.0 GHz boost. A 16-MB L3 cache backs the cores (2.3 MB per core). It addresses DDR4 memory up to 128 GB across 2 channels. The chip drops into the FCLGA1200 socket and exposes PCIe 3.0 (16 lanes). Rated TDP is 80 W. Notable platform capabilities: Extended Page Tables (EPT).

The Intel Xeon W-1270 scores 2,981 in single-core performance and 17,513 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 7,225 for overall performance, 15,557 for productivity performance, 14,998 for creator performance, 17,951 for engineering performance and 13,321 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 2,189 per core, 1,095 per thread and 219 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 808. Its performance index is 90, so its overall performance is 10% 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 W-1270 scores 65,235 in integer math, 40,408 in floating-point math, 264,297 in compression, 5,908 in cryptography, 892 in physics simulation, 17,844 in vector SIMD, 53 in the prime sieve and 33,543 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 11% above in integer math, 12% below in floating-point math, 16% above in compression, 49% below in cryptography, 18% below in physics simulation, 15% above in vector SIMD, 21% below in the prime sieve and 48% 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 W-1270 has 8 physical cores and runs 16 logical threads. It runs 2 threads per core. It runs at a base clock of 3.40 GHz and boosts up to 5.00 GHz.
