Intel® Xeon™ W-2125

The Intel Xeon W-2125 is a server processor with 4 cores and 8 threads, built on the Skylake architecture. It launched in Jul 2017. Clocks run from 4.0 GHz base to 4.5 GHz boost. A 8.25-MB L3 cache backs the cores (3.1 MB per core). It addresses DDR4 memory up to 512 GB across 4 channels. The chip drops into the FCLGA2066 socket and exposes PCIe 3.0 (48 lanes). Rated TDP is 120 W. Notable platform capabilities: AVX-512, Extended Page Tables (EPT).

The Intel Xeon W-2125 scores 2,543 in single-core performance and 9,919 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 5,022 for overall performance, 10,008 for productivity performance, 10,033 for creator performance, 9,547 for engineering performance and 10,109 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 2,480 per core, 1,240 per thread and 83 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 459. 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 W-2125 scores 30,565 in integer math, 18,890 in floating-point math, 134,237 in compression, 3,338 in cryptography, 690 in physics simulation, 11,040 in vector SIMD, 38 in the prime sieve and 16,823 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 48% below in integer math, 59% below in floating-point math, 41% below in compression, 71% below in cryptography, 37% below in physics simulation, 29% below in vector SIMD, 43% below in the prime sieve and 26% below 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-2125 has 4 physical cores and runs 8 logical threads. It runs 2 threads per core. It runs at a base clock of 4.00 GHz and boosts up to 4.50 GHz.
