About the Intel Xeon E5-2680 CPU

The Intel Xeon E5-2680 is a 8-core (16-thread) processor built for the server CPU market. It launched in Q1 2012. It is part of Intel's Xeon E5 lineup, which is based on the Sandy Bridge-EP microarchitecture. The E5-2680 is compatible with Intel Socket 2011 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 32 nm manufacturing process.

Memory and Cache

The Xeon E5-2680 supports DDR3 memory and features a quad-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 4 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Xeon E5-2680 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 20 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Xeon E5-2680 features 8 total cores which can process 16 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 3.5 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 E5-2680 does not include an integrated graphics solution. A dedicated graphics card will be required if you require a monitor with your computer.

Benchmark Performance

The Xeon E5-2680 has the 223rd best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 29.71% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.

About the Intel Xeon E-2176G CPU

The Intel Xeon E-2176G is an end-of-life 6-core (12-thread) processor built for the server CPU market. It launched in Q3 2018 with a suggested retail price of $367. It is part of Intel's Xeon E lineup, which is based on the Coffee Lake microarchitecture. The E-2176G is compatible with Intel Socket 1151 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 14 nm manufacturing process. It features the HD Graphics P630 integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

The Xeon E-2176G 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-2176G 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-2176G 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 3.7 GHz, and it can boost up to 4.7 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-2176G includes an integrated graphics solution called HD 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-2176G has the 145th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 39.64% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D. Its 14,662 score and $367 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 39.95. This is the 79th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Perf. Physics benchmark.
