Reading guide

Read the performance results

The 104,974 CPU Mark is a broad overall-performance measure, while the 3,742 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 350 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 696X specifications?

The main recorded details are 64 cores and 128 threads, up to 4.60 GHz turbo, a 350 W reference TDP, a 104,974 CPU Mark. The tables on this page show socket, memory, cache and graphics data when available.

Is the Intel Xeon 696X good for gaming?
