Intel Xeon Gold 6254
The Xeon Gold 6254 is a 12 core CPU from Intel released in 2019. This chip has an amazing overall score with 10336 points in our CPU benchmark. Our gaming benchmark shows that this CPU is a very good processor for gaming, with a score of 7901 points. As for multitasking and heavy workloads, the Xeon Gold 6254 scores 11185 points and 11474 points respectively. Indeed, this is an amazing rating for very heavy workloads.
The Xeon Gold 6254 has 12 cores and 12 threads. This chip has no simultaneous multithreading support, as it has the same number of cores as threads. This Intel CPU has a clock speed of 3.1 GHz and a turbo speed of 4 GHz : a higher clock speed that can be reached when thermals and power delivery allow.
As for memory, the Xeon Gold 6254 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 6254 CPU are a TDP (Thermal Design Power) of 200 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.
