Reading guide

Read the performance results

The 44,446 CPU Mark is a broad overall-performance measure, while the 3,871 single-thread result adds context for less-parallel work. Compare the nearby alternatives on this page and do not treat one score as a verdict for every application.

Platform and compatibility

It uses socket LGA4710. A matching socket is only the first check; confirm the official motherboard CPU-support list, BIOS revision and board power limits.

Memory and power

Recorded memory support: DDR5. The 170 W TDP helps size the cooling class, but it is not the same as peak wall-power consumption.

FAQ

Common processor questions

What are the key Intel Xeon 636 specifications?

The main recorded details are 12 cores and 24 threads, up to 4.70 GHz turbo, a 170 W reference TDP, a 44,446 CPU Mark. The tables on this page show socket, memory, cache and graphics data when available.

Is the Intel Xeon 636 good for gaming?
