Intel Xeon 6315P

The Intel Xeon 6315P is a 4-core, 4-thread Intel processor in the Xeon 6 (Raptor Lake Refresh) generation, built on Raptor Lake-R and Intel’s 10 nm process. It has a 163 mm² die, a 2.80 GHz base clock, and a 4.70 GHz boost clock. The cache layout is 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and 12 MB of shared L3. The part is rated at 55 W TDP and targets the Server/Workstation segment. It supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory on a dual-channel bus, has ECC memory support, and provides PCIe Gen 5, 16 Lanes from the CPU. Integrated graphics is null, the multiplier is locked, and production status is Active. Released on 2025-02-23, the processor has an average benchmark score of 2748 and sits in the 53rd percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rivals cluster tightly: the Intel Core i7-11390H and Intel Core i9-8950HK at an average score of 2749, and the Intel Xeon E-2226G and AMD EPYC 7261 at 2740.

How It Compares

The 6315P is effectively tied with the Intel Core i7-11390H. That rival has an average benchmark score of 2749, and the deltaPct is 0, so the aggregate benchmark profile of the Xeon lands on the same point as the Core chip.

Against the Intel Core i9-8950HK, the picture is identical. The i9-8950HK also has an average score of 2749 with a deltaPct of 0, making the 6315P neither ahead nor behind in this combined metric.

The Intel Xeon E-2226G is a hair behind. Its average score is 2740, and the deltaPct is 0.3, meaning the 6315P holds a 0.3% advantage in aggregate benchmark score.

The AMD EPYC 7261 sits in the same position. With an average score of 2740 and a deltaPct of 0.3, the 6315P is 0.3% ahead of the EPYC in this comparison.

Power and Thermals

The 6315P carries a 55 W TDP, which is a low power target for the Server/Workstation segment. That rating is the governing specification for cooling: a modest air cooler should be sufficient, and the chip does not require an exotic cooling solution. The 10 nm process and 163 mm² die are the physical context behind that thermal envelope. With no integrated graphics, the CPU itself is the primary heat source on the processor package. This thermal class implies that compact server chassis and quiet workstation builds can use standard cooling rather than a high-end liquid setup.

Who Should Consider It

The 6315P is a 4-core, 4-thread part, so it is not aimed at heavily parallel rendering or large-scale scientific compute. Its multi-core scores, Cinebench R15 957, R20 3990, and R23 9502, define a clear ceiling for fully threaded workloads. The single-core scores, Cinebench R15 135, R20 563, and R23 1341, are comparatively stronger, and the 4.70 GHz boost clock reinforces the pattern: this is a processor that rewards fast, latency-sensitive work on a small number of threads.

For office and productivity workloads, the single-core results suggest responsive performance in everyday applications that are not built to use many cores. For gaming, the lack of integrated graphics means a discrete GPU is required; the single-thread boost is the more relevant number for game logic and overall responsiveness. For creation workloads, the 4-core ceiling will limit multi-threaded export and rendering jobs, even if interactions in a lightly threaded interface benefit from the high boost clock. The 55 W TDP also makes the processor a reasonable fit for systems where low heat output is desirable.

FAQ

Q: Does the Intel Xeon 6315P support ECC memory?

A: Yes. The ECC memory field is true, so the processor supports ECC operation.

Q: What memory types does it support?

A: It supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory on a dual-channel memory bus.

Q: Does it have integrated graphics?

A: No. The integrated graphics field is null, so the processor has no integrated GPU.

Q: How much cache does the 6315P include?

A: Each core has 80 KB of L1 and 1.25 MB of L2, with 12 MB of shared L3 cache.

Q: Is the multiplier unlocked?

A: No. The multiplier unlocked field is false, so this is a locked processor.

Q: When was it released and what was the launch MSRP?

A: The release date is 2025-02-23, and the launch MSRP is $213.

Platform and Compatibility

The 6315P uses Intel Socket 1700. Memory support includes DDR4 and DDR5 on a dual-channel memory bus. The PCIe interface is Gen 5 with 16 lanes coming from the CPU. Because integrated graphics is null, any display output requires a discrete graphics adapter. The processor belongs to the Xeon 6 (Raptor Lake Refresh) generation and carries the Raptor Lake-R codename. Production status is Active. The socket choice means an upgrade path would involve other Socket 1700 processors; the exact board-level support is a property of the motherboard, not this CPU data. There is no integrated GPU to drive a display, and the CPU-only PCIe lane count means add-in cards or NVMe devices are the expected consumers of those lanes.

Single-Thread vs Multi-Thread Behavior

The Cinebench results show a consistent scaling pattern. In R15, the single-core score is 135 and the multi-core score is 957. In R20, the single-core score is 563 and the multi-core score is 3990. In R23, the single-core score is 1341 and the multi-core score is 9502. In each benchmark generation, the multi-core result is a large multiple of the single-core result, which is consistent with a 4-core, 4-thread design where each core contributes to the multi-threaded total. The base clock of 2.80 GHz and the boost clock of 4.70 GHz show a wide frequency envelope, allowing brief single-threaded bursts to run well above the base rate. The 53rd percentile average score places the chip in the middle of the broader CPU distribution. Workloads that rely on a single fast thread will see the boost behavior; workloads that need more than four threads will hit the core and thread ceiling quickly.

Benchmark Performance

The average benchmark score of 2748 is the summary position for the 6315P. The nearest-rival table emphasizes how tight this cluster is. The Intel Core i7-11390H and Intel Core i9-8950HK each have an average score of 2749, and the deltaPct is 0 for both. The Intel Xeon E-2226G and AMD EPYC 7261 each have an average score of 2740, and the deltaPct is 0.3 for both. That means the 6315P is tied with the 2749-score rivals and 0.3% ahead of the 2740-score rivals in aggregate score. The individual Cinebench runs provide the underlying picture: R23 multi-core is 9502 and single-core is 1341; R20 multi-core is 3990 and single-core is 563; R15 multi-core is 957 and single-core is 135. Across those benchmark generations, the single-thread profile remains consistent, while the multi-core profile scales roughly in line with the four-core design. The data implies that the performance identity of this Xeon is frequency-driven rather than core-count-driven.
