About Intel Xeon 6748P
The Intel Xeon 6748P is a 48-core, 96-thread server/workstation processor built on Granite Rapids. It carries a 2.50 GHz base clock, a 4.10 GHz boost clock, and 192 MB of shared L3 cache. The database entry has an empty benchmark list: avgBenchmarkScore is 0, percentileVsAllCpus is 50, and nearestRivals is empty. The available facts are therefore specifications, not measured results.
Single-Thread vs Multi-Thread Behavior
On paper, the 4.10 GHz boost clock is the high point for lightly threaded code. The 2.50 GHz base clock is the lower declared point for sustained operation. With 48 cores and 96 threads, the processor is tilted toward parallel throughput. A single-threaded workload can make use of the 4.10 GHz boost, while a multi-threaded workload can spread across 96 threads. This split indicates a design intended for server/workstation tasks that can use many cores.
Each core has 112 KB of L1 and 2 MB of L2, and the shared L3 is 192 MB, a large pool for concurrent data access. The base and boost numbers are only two clock states; they do not reveal how frequency behaves when all 48 cores are active. Real workloads with thread-rich code can exploit the 48-core/96-thread surface, whereas latency-sensitive single-thread code must rely on the 4.10 GHz boost. The absence of measured scores leaves the exact single-thread versus multi-thread balance uncertain.
The large L3 also matters here: shared data touched by many threads can stay on-die, reducing off-socket memory traffic. Because the memory interface is eight-channel DDR5 with 409.6 GB/s of declared bandwidth, even memory-heavy parallel workloads have a wide data path. The 2.50 GHz base clock suggests a conservative all-core frequency, while the 4.10 GHz boost gives individual cores room to run faster when other cores are idle.
Power and Thermals — TDP class, what cooling tier it implies
The declared TDP is 300 W. This places the 6748P in the high-power server/workstation cooling class. The database has no measured thermals, so the 300 W figure is the only thermal planning number. The multiplier is not unlocked, so no unlocked overclocking path is reported. The socket is Intel Socket 4710, so cooler mounting must match that socket.
A cooling solution for this processor must be designed around a 300 W thermal load, which is a server-grade tier rather than a desktop-class solution. The die configuration is 2x 598 mm², meaning heat is spread across two physical die slices. The CPU is manufactured by Intel on a 5 nm process, and the market segment is Server/Workstation. With 48 cores and 96 threads active, the 300 W TDP is the declared envelope for all-core operation. The locked multiplier means the listed clock states are the only clock states; cooling does not have an unlocked overclocking headroom to absorb. The data does not include a measured thermal or efficiency figure, so the actual power curve under different loads is unverified.
Platform and Compatibility
The socket is Intel Socket 4710. Memory support is DDR5, using an eight-channel memory bus with 409.6 GB/s declared bandwidth and ECC support. The CPU provides PCIe Gen 5 with 88 lanes from the CPU only. The architecture and codename are both Granite Rapids, and the generation is Xeon 6 (Granite Rapids-SP). The process node is 5 nm, and the foundry is Intel. The die size is 2x 598 mm².
The market segment is Server/Workstation. The part number is SRVNT. No integrated graphics is listed, so display output requires a separate graphics adapter. Production status is Active, and the release date is 2025-02-23. The platform couples eight-channel memory and 88 CPU PCIe lanes, which points to a high-bandwidth server configuration. ECC support being true means the memory path is configured for error-correcting server memory. Any processor upgrade for this platform would remain within the Intel Socket 4710 ecosystem. The declared memory bandwidth of 409.6 GB/s is the aggregate figure for the eight-channel DDR5 interface.
Who Should Consider It
The database has no benchmark scores, so the recommendations are specification-based. The 48-core/96-thread count makes the processor suitable for workloads that can use many parallel threads. The 192 MB shared L3 and the eight-channel DDR5 memory with 409.6 GB/s bandwidth point toward data-intensive server applications. ECC memory support is true, which aligns with memory reliability requirements in server/workstation environments.
The market segment is Server/Workstation, not a consumer or gaming segment. No gaming benchmark scores are listed, and no integrated graphics is listed. For office-style use, the specification profile indicates a server/workstation processor rather than a client-oriented part. Content-creation workloads that scale across many threads could use the 48 cores and 96 threads, but no creation benchmark records exist in the database. The 300 W TDP implies the host system must provide server-grade power delivery and cooling. The launch MSRP is $12702. Buyers should expect a platform built around Intel Socket 4710, DDR5 memory, and PCIe Gen 5 expansion rather than a desktop motherboard.
Benchmark Performance
The benchmark list for the 6748P is empty. The average benchmark score is 0. The percentile versus all CPUs is 50. The nearestRivals array is empty, so there is no deltaPct value for any rival processor. This means no score-based performance statement can be made from the database.
A 50th percentile rank would, in a populated field, place the CPU in the middle of the all-CPU distribution; with a 0 average score, that rank cannot be treated as verified. The available specifications—48 cores, 96 threads, 2.50 GHz base, 4.10 GHz boost, and 192 MB of shared L3—are the only quantitative performance signals. The absence of benchmarks also means the database has no single-thread score, no multi-thread score, and no per-application result. A comparative statement such as a deltaPct claim would require nearestRivals data; none exists. The 50th percentile is a positional field, but it is paired with an average score of 0, so it does not confirm measured performance. Measured results are needed before relative positioning can be established.

How It Compares
The nearestRivals field is empty. There is no rival name, rival score, or deltaPct value in the database for this CPU. Consequently, it is impossible to say whether the 6748P is faster or slower than another processor in the database. The only comparative context is percentileVsAllCpus equal to 50, but with avgBenchmarkScore equal to 0, that percentile cannot be treated as a measured result. A populated nearestRivals field would allow exact deltaPct statements; this entry contains none. The database's own records therefore define the Xeon 6748P as a CPU without measured rivals, and the position is undefined.
