Intel Xeon 6731E

The Intel Xeon 6731E is a Server/Workstation processor with 96 cores and 96 threads, built on the Sierra Forest architecture and listed in the Xeon 6 (Sierra Forest-SP) generation. Its base clock is 2.20 GHz, its boost clock is 3.10 GHz, and its TDP is 250 W. It is manufactured on Intel’s 5 nm process with a 578 mm² die, and it uses Intel Socket 4710. The data set records a launch MSRP of $4121. The database places this processor at the 50th percentile against all CPUs, but it lists no nearest rivals and no benchmark scores.

How It Compares

The nearestRivals field is empty for this entry. No rival SKU names, no comparison scores, and no deltaPct values are present in the data set. Because that array is empty, there is no designated competitor against which the Intel Xeon 6731E can be positioned.

The only comparative figure available is percentileVsAllCpus, which is 50. That value places the processor at the midpoint of the database’s CPU distribution. It is an aggregate ranking rather than a measured score, and it does not identify which processors sit immediately above or below this SKU.

Without nearestRivals, the data set cannot express advantages or deficits as percentages. No deltaPct value can be calculated or cited. The comparison story is therefore limited to the processor’s own specifications: 96 cores, 96 threads, a 2.20 GHz base clock, a 3.10 GHz boost clock, and a 250 W TDP. Those figures describe a high-core-count server part, but the database provides no named rival to compare against.

Power and Thermals

The Intel Xeon 6731E is rated at a TDP of 250 W. That is the only power figure in the data set. For a Server/Workstation processor, a 250 W TDP implies a cooling tier built around sustained high-core-count operation. The thermal solution must be able to handle the heat output of 96 active cores, though the data set does not specify cooler requirements.

The process node is 5 nm, and the die size is 578 mm². These two physical details come directly from the data set. A die of 578 mm² provides a broad surface for heat dissipation, while the 5 nm process defines the manufacturing technology. The data set does not include measured operating temperatures, maximum thermal limits, or thermal design guidance beyond the 250 W TDP.

The multiplier unlocked field is false. That means the processor’s frequency states are set by the listed 2.20 GHz base clock and 3.10 GHz boost clock. There is no indication in the data that the CPU is positioned for user-controlled frequency modification. The production status is Active, so the part is not marked as discontinued.

The platform context is Server/Workstation, and the memory subsystem is eight-channel DDR5 with 358.4 GB/s of bandwidth. The PCIe support is Gen 5 with 88 lanes from the CPU only. These features contribute to the platform’s power delivery requirements, although the data set does not quantify their draw. No additional wattage figures, such as idle power or platform power limits, are present. The thermal profile of this SKU is defined by the 250 W TDP, the 5 nm process, and the 578 mm² die.

Benchmark Performance

The benchmarks array for the Intel Xeon 6731E is empty. As a result, the average benchmark score is recorded as 0. The percentile versus all CPUs is 50. That percentile is an aggregate position rather than a benchmark result; it places the CPU at the midpoint of the database’s CPU population.

Because the nearestRivals list is empty, no deltaPct values exist to express performance gaps. There are no per-application scores, no multi-core scores, and no single-thread scores in the data set. Benchmark analysis must therefore rely on the aggregate percentile and the specification-level data.

The processor has 96 cores and 96 threads. The thread count equals the core count, a configuration detail visible in the data. The base clock is 2.20 GHz, and the boost clock is 3.10 GHz. These frequency values define the operating envelope of the CPU, but they are not performance measurements.

The cache hierarchy is 96 KB of L1 per core, 4 MB of L2 per module, and 96 MB of shared L3. The memory subsystem is eight-channel DDR5 with 358.4 GB/s of bandwidth and ECC support. These specifications point toward memory-bandwidth-sensitive and throughput-oriented server workloads. However, the empty benchmarks array means the database contains no measured evidence of application performance.

The average benchmark score of 0 and the percentile of 50 are the only numerical benchmark fields in the data set. The percentile suggests a middle-of-database position, but without benchmark records it cannot be tied to a specific workload result. The performance picture for this SKU is incomplete: the aggregate ranking exists, but the underlying benchmark data is absent.

Platform and Compatibility

The Intel Xeon 6731E is built for Intel Socket 4710. Its codename and architecture are both Sierra Forest, and its generation is Xeon 6 (Sierra Forest-SP). The process node is 5 nm, and the die size is 578 mm². The foundry is Intel.

Memory support is DDR5 with an eight-channel memory bus. The listed memory bandwidth is 358.4 GB/s, and ECC memory support is enabled. ECC support is a relevant feature for Server/Workstation platforms, as it helps protect memory data in server environments. The data set does not specify memory speed beyond the DDR5 designation.

PCIe support is Gen 5 with 88 lanes from the CPU only. The data set does not describe how those lanes are divided among slots or devices. It also does not list a chipset or chipset-provided lanes. The 88 lanes are the only PCIe resource explicitly stated.

The market segment is Server/Workstation. The production status is Active, and the release date is 2024-06-02. The part number is SRPFY. The series field is null, so no additional series grouping is recorded. The transistor count is not listed in the data set.

There is no integrated graphics specification in the data set. The multiplier unlocked field is false. For a Server/Workstation processor, the absence of integrated graphics in the data is consistent with a CPU-oriented platform, though the data set does not state what graphics should be used.

Because the data set lists only Intel Socket 4710, platform compatibility is tied to motherboards built around that socket. The data set does not list other processors for this socket, so an upgrade path cannot be defined from this entry alone. The active production status means the SKU remains current in the database rather than being marked as legacy.

The eight-channel memory controller and 88 CPU-only PCIe Gen 5 lanes define the main platform expansion capabilities. The data set does not specify motherboard slot layouts, lane bifurcation, or chipset features. The release date of 2024-06-02 and Active production status place this processor in the current Xeon 6 Sierra Forest-SP generation. The platform is therefore a modern server-oriented Socket 4710 design with DDR5 memory, ECC support, and Gen 5 PCIe connectivity.
