The Intel Xeon W-1270E is a server processor released on April 1, 2020, built on the Comet Lake architecture using a 14 nm process. It has 8 cores and 16 threads, a base clock of 3.40 GHz, a maximum boost of 4.80 GHz, 16 MB of L3 cache, a 80 W TDP and the FCLGA1200 socket.
Overview
SummaryThe Intel Xeon W-1270E is a embedded processor with 8 cores and 16 threads, built on the Comet Lake architecture. It launched in Apr 2020. Clocks run from 3.4 GHz base to 4.8 GHz boost. A 16-MB L3 cache backs the cores (2.0 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).
Performance
12 metricsThe Intel Xeon W-1270E scores 2,990 in single-core performance and 18,635 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 7,464 for overall performance, 16,299 for productivity performance, 15,631 for creator performance, 19,101 for engineering performance and 13,629 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 2,329 per core, 1,165 per thread and 233 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 835. Its performance index is 93, so its overall performance is 7% 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.
How these scores are computed
Single-core and multi-core performance are PassMark CPU Mark single-thread and multi-thread ratings. Every other figure on this page's performance section is computed by Feex from those two ratings plus core count, thread count and TDP, so it is a derived value and not a separate benchmark run.
- Overall performance is the geometric mean of the two ratings: the square root of single-core times multi-core.
- Productivity performance is 0.65 times multi-core plus 1.4 times single-core.
- Creator performance is 0.55 times multi-core plus 1.8 times single-core.
- Engineering performance is multi-core times the smaller of 1.4 and (0.9 plus cores divided by 64).
- Gaming performance is 3 times single-core plus 0.25 times multi-core.
- Performance per core, per thread and per watt divide the multi-core rating by physical cores, logical threads and TDP in watts.
- The efficiency index is the square root of single-core times multi-core, divided by the square root of TDP.
- The performance index is overall performance divided by the overall performance of the Intel Core i5-12400 (8,069), times 100.
Workload Benchmarks
8 workloadsScores 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-1270E scores 60,817 in integer math, 38,916 in floating-point math, 272,275 in compression, 7,292 in cryptography, 1,069 in physics simulation, 16,684 in vector SIMD, 63 in the prime sieve and 35,789 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 3% above in integer math, 15% below in floating-point math, 19% above in compression, 37% below in cryptography, 2% below in physics simulation, 8% above in vector SIMD, 6% below in the prime sieve and 58% 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.
