Intel Granite Rapids WS Core Scaling Performance With The Xeon 678X
Last week I provided a look at the Intel Xeon 600 series Hyper Threading performance with the Xeon 678X "Granite Rapids WS" processor for HT/SMT on and off. That was interesting while another reader request was to look at the CPU core scaling performance for this high-end workstation processor. Here are those benchmarks for showing the performance, power, and frequency/thermal impact of the Xeon…
The Intel Xeon 678X Granite Rapids WS processor was recently tested for its core scaling performance and efficiency. The processor, with its 48 cores and 96 threads, features a base frequency of 2.4GHz, Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 reaching up to 4.7GHz, and a maximum turbo frequency of 4.9GHz. This high-end workstation processor operates within a 300 Watt TDP limit, and was tested in an HP Z4 G6i system equipped with 4 x 32GB DDR5-6400 memory and a 2TB NVMe SSD, running Fedora 44 and the Linux 7.1 kernel with the GCC 16.1 compiler.
Benchmarks were conducted by disabling and enabling different numbers of cores, from 6 to 48, while toggling Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT) to evaluate the Xeon 678X's performance, power consumption, CPU frequency, temperature, and performance-per-Watt. These tests were aimed at providing a comprehensive view of how the processor scales across various workloads, shedding light on its efficiency and raw performance.
HP provided the review unit for this evaluation, which has recently concluded its examination of the Granite Rapids WS processor.
