Overview
SummaryThe Intel Xeon w9-3595X is a workstation processor with 60 cores and 120 threads, built on the Sapphire Rapids architecture. It launched in Jul 2024. Clocks run from 2.0 GHz base to 4.8 GHz boost. A 112.5-MB L3 cache backs the cores (1.9 MB per core). It addresses DDR5 memory up to 4 GB across 8 channels. The chip drops into the FCLGA4677 socket and exposes PCIe 5.0 (112 lanes). Rated TDP is 385 W. Notable platform capabilities: AMX, AVX-512, Extended Page Tables (EPT), Control-flow Enforcement (CET).
Performance
12 metricsThe Intel Xeon w9-3595X scores 3,717 in single-core performance and 99,182 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 19,201 for overall performance, 69,672 for productivity performance, 61,241 for creator performance, 138,855 for engineering performance and 35,947 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 1,653 per core, 827 per thread and 258 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 979. Its performance index is 238, so its overall performance is 138% above 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 w9-3595X scores 470,945 in integer math, 376,933 in floating-point math, 1,823,816 in compression, 91,746 in cryptography, 5,720 in physics simulation, 141,685 in vector SIMD, 572 in the prime sieve and 189,150 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 700% above in integer math, 721% above in floating-point math, 700% above in compression, 699% above in cryptography, 425% above in physics simulation, 814% above in vector SIMD, 754% above in the prime sieve and 735% above in sorting.
