Intel Xeon Gold 6226R
The Xeon Gold 6226R is a 16 core CPU from Intel released in 2020. This chip has an average overall score with 2515 points in our CPU benchmark. Our gaming benchmark shows that this CPU is a very good processor for gaming, with a score of 4643 points. As for multitasking and heavy workloads, the Xeon Gold 6226R scores 1920 points and 1844 points respectively. Indeed, this is an average rating for very heavy workloads.
The Xeon Gold 6226R has 16 cores and 32 threads. This CPU makes use of simultaneous multithreading technology to improve performance on parallel tasks. Each physical CPU core is divided into multiple logical processors. This Intel CPU has a clock speed of 2.9 GHz and a turbo speed of 3.9 GHz : a higher clock speed that can be reached when thermals and power delivery allow.
As for memory, the Xeon Gold 6226R makes use of DDR4-2933 memory. The faster the memory, the better. Faster memory means that the CPU doesn't have to wait to get the data it needs. Furthermore, this chip can handle up to 6 channels of RAM, a multichannel memory architecture allows for higher data transfer between the CPU and the memory. However, to take advantage of this, you must have enough memory slots filled. Error correcting memory is supported on this processor.
This CPU has fast connectivity with support for PCI-Express Gen 3. The faster the PCIe link, the better. This allows for better performance with GPUs and NVME SSDs. It has a total of 48 PCIe lanes.
Power and thermals for the Intel Xeon Gold 6226R CPU are a TDP (Thermal Design Power) of 150 watts. This measures the amount of heat the processor produces when running at full load. This isn't a measure of power consumption, but it's a good estimate.
