About the Intel Xeon E-2176M CPU

The Intel Xeon E-2176M is an end-of-life 6-core (12-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q2 2018 with a suggested retail price of $450. It is part of Intel's Xeon E lineup, which is based on the Coffee Lake microarchitecture. The E-2176M is compatible with Intel BGA 1440 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 14 nm manufacturing process. It features the UHD Graphics P630 integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

The Xeon E-2176M supports DDR4 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Xeon E-2176M has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 64 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 256 KB, is larger but slower than the L1. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 12 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Xeon E-2176M features 6 total cores which can process 12 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 2.7 GHz, and it can boost up to 4.4 GHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is locked, making it incapable of overclocking for pushing performance further.

Integrated Graphics

The Xeon E-2176M includes an integrated graphics solution called UHD Graphics P630. This graphics processor is directly integrated into the CPU and is not as powerful as a dedicated graphics card. While integrated graphics can handle basic tasks like web browsing and office applications, it is not suitable for more demanding activities such as gaming or video editing, where a dedicated graphics card offers superior performance.

Benchmark Performance & Value

The Xeon E-2176M has the 203rd best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 31.70% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D. Its 11,727 score and $450 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 26.06. This is the 140th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Perf. Physics benchmark.

About the Intel Core i7-2620M CPU

The Intel Core i7-2620M is a 2-core (4-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. The i7-2620M is compatible with FCBGA1023, PPGA988 motherboards and is fabricated on a 32 nm manufacturing process. It features the Intel HD Graphics 3000 integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

In terms of cache, the Core i7-2620M has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 128 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 512 KB, is larger but slower than the L1. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 4 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Core i7-2620M features 2 total cores which can process 4 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 2700.0 MHz, and it can boost up to 3400.0 MHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture.

Integrated Graphics

The Core i7-2620M includes an integrated graphics solution called Intel HD Graphics 3000. This graphics processor is directly integrated into the CPU and is not as powerful as a dedicated graphics card. While integrated graphics can handle basic tasks like web browsing and office applications, it is not suitable for more demanding activities such as gaming or video editing, where a dedicated graphics card offers superior performance.

Benchmark Performance

The Core i7-2620M has the 447th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 10.98% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.
