Overview
SummaryThe Intel Xeon W-2170B is a server processor with 14 cores and 28 threads. It launched in Dec 2017. Clocks run from 2.5 GHz base to 4.3 GHz boost. A 19.25-MB L3 cache backs the cores (2.0 MB per core). It supports DDR4 memory. It uses the FCLGA2066 socket. Rated TDP is 140 W. Notable platform capabilities: AVX-512.
Performance
12 metricsThe Intel Xeon W-2170B scores 2,448 in single-core performance and 24,345 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 7,720 for overall performance, 19,251 for productivity performance, 17,796 for creator performance, 27,236 for engineering performance and 13,430 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 1,739 per core, 869 per thread and 174 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 652. Its performance index is 96, so its overall performance is 4% 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-2170B scores 83,288 in integer math, 50,409 in floating-point math, 392,341 in compression, 9,893 in cryptography, 1,535 in physics simulation, 25,265 in vector SIMD, 94 in the prime sieve and 45,510 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 41% above in integer math, 10% above in floating-point math, 72% above in compression, 14% below in cryptography, 41% above in physics simulation, 63% above in vector SIMD, 40% above in the prime sieve and 101% 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.
