Intel® Xeon™ W-2135

The Intel Xeon W-2135 is a server processor with 6 cores and 12 threads, built on the Skylake architecture. It launched in Jul 2017. Clocks run from 3.7 GHz base to 4.5 GHz boost. A 8.25-MB L3 cache backs the cores (2.4 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 140 W. Notable platform capabilities: AVX-512, Extended Page Tables (EPT).

The Intel Xeon W-2135 scores 2,597 in single-core performance and 14,338 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 6,102 for overall performance, 12,956 for productivity performance, 12,561 for creator performance, 14,248 for engineering performance and 11,376 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 2,390 per core, 1,195 per thread and 102 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 516. Its performance index is 76, so its overall performance is 24% 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-2135 scores 47,002 in integer math, 28,944 in floating-point math, 202,484 in compression, 4,927 in cryptography, 909 in physics simulation, 16,436 in vector SIMD, 50 in the prime sieve and 25,648 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 20% below in integer math, 37% below in floating-point math, 11% below in compression, 57% below in cryptography, 17% below in physics simulation, 6% above in vector SIMD, 25% below in the prime sieve and 13% 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-2135 has 6 physical cores and runs 12 logical threads. It runs 2 threads per core. It runs at a base clock of 3.70 GHz and boosts up to 4.50 GHz.
