Processing Power

The Xeon 6357P is a 8-core / 16-thread processor based on the Raptor Lake-R (2023−2025) architecture, manufactured on a Intel 7 nm process node. It reaches a maximum boost clock of 5.1 GHz from a base frequency of 3 GHz— higher boost clocks directly translate to better single-threaded performance and responsiveness in gaming. It carries 24 MB (total) of L3 cache, plus 2 MB (per core) of L2 cache and 80 kB (per core) of L1 cache per core. In the PassMark benchmark (a comprehensive multi-threaded test), it scores 30,401, placing it in the High-End performance tier as a Current Gen generation product. Geekbench 6 single-core (the most relevant metric for gaming FPS) records 2,784, while multi-core reaches 12,769. Cinebench R23 multi-core (measuring sustained rendering workload performance) scores 18,000.
