Technical Analysis

Detailed breakdown of Xeon 6724P specifications and capabilities.

Processing Power

The Xeon 6724P is a 16-core / 32-thread processor based on the Granite Rapids (2024−2025) architecture, manufactured on a Intel 3 nm process node. It reaches a maximum boost clock of 4.3 GHz from a base frequency of 3.6 GHz— higher boost clocks directly translate to better single-threaded performance and responsiveness in gaming. It carries 72 MB (total) of L3 cache, plus 2 MB (per core) of L2 cache and 112 kB (per core) of L1 cache per core. In the PassMark benchmark (a comprehensive multi-threaded test), it scores 38,061, 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 1,800, while multi-core reaches 25,000.
