Intel® Xeon™ W5580

The Intel Xeon W5580 is a server processor with 4 cores and 8 threads, built on the Nehalem architecture. It launched in Mar 2009. Clocks run from 3.2 GHz base to 3.46 GHz boost. A 8-MB L3 cache backs the cores (2.0 MB per core). It supports DDR3 memory. It uses the FCLGA1366 socket. Rated TDP is 130 W. Notable platform capabilities: AVX-512, Extended Page Tables (EPT).

The Intel Xeon W5580 scores 1,507 in single-core performance and 3,459 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 2,283 for overall performance, 4,358 for productivity performance, 4,615 for creator performance, 3,329 for engineering performance and 5,386 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 865 per core, 432 per thread and 27 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 200. Its performance index is 28, so its overall performance is 72% 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.

Workload sub-scores (integer math, floating point, compression, encryption, physics, SIMD, prime sieve and sorting) are not recorded for the Intel Xeon W5580.

The Intel Xeon W5580 has 4 physical cores and runs 8 logical threads. It does not use a hybrid performance and efficiency core layout. It runs 2 threads per core. It runs at a base clock of 3.20 GHz and boosts up to 3.46 GHz.

The Intel Xeon W5580 is a server processor, belongs to the Intel Xeon W family and uses the Nehalem architecture. It launched in Mar 2009.

The Intel Xeon W5580 has 8 MB of L3 cache. That adds up to about 8.0 MB of cache, or 2.00 MB per core. Feex has no recorded L1 cache size for this processor.
