Xeon D-2146NT Details

Ranking #602 of 2060 in overall performance, the Intel Xeon D-2146NT presents a compelling option for embedded and server-class workloads where efficiency and integrated capabilities are prioritized. As of March 2026, this processor, released several years ago, remains relevant in niche environments due to its robust feature set and embedded market focus. Built on Intel's Skylake microarchitecture at a 14 nm process node, the Xeon D-2146NT is a multi-chip package with two dies, designed to deliver high performance within a constrained thermal envelope.

The processor features eight cores and sixteen threads, enabled by Intel's Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT) technology, allowing it to handle a wide range of parallelized tasks effectively. Base clock speed sits at 2.3 GHz, with a turbo frequency of 3.0 GHz, offering a balance between power efficiency and burst performance. It supports DDR4-2133 memory across four channels, enabling a maximum memory bandwidth of 79.47 GiB/s and supporting up to 524 GB of ECC-protected memory. The L1 cache totals 0.5 MiB (0.25 MiB for instruction and data each), while L2 and L3 caches are 8 MiB and 11 MiB respectively, providing fast access to frequently used data.

Thermally, the Xeon D-2146NT operates at an 80 W TDP, making it suitable for low-power, high-density server and embedded applications. It uses a BGA-2518 package and supports DMI 3.0 and PCIe 3.0, with up to 32 lanes and 20 HSIO lanes, ensuring robust I/O performance. The processor integrates Intel QuickAssist Technology (QAT), which accelerates encryption and compression tasks, a critical advantage in network and security applications.

In benchmark testing, the Xeon D-2146NT achieves an overall score of 5318, placing it in the middle tier of processors. Its single-core score of 5213 ranks it at #803, indicating strong performance in legacy or single-threaded applications, while its multicore score of 5476 at #406 highlights its strength in multi-threaded workloads. The processor outperforms many older Xeons and competes with some modern low-power desktop CPUs, such as the Core i7-10700F and Ryzen 7 5800U. However, it falls behind high-end desktop and server processors like the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9995WX and Core Ultra 9 285K, which dominate the top of the rankings.

Notable features include support for AVX-512, AES-NI, and Intel VT-x/VT-d virtualization, making it suitable for virtualized environments and data-intensive applications. Its embedded market positioning, combined with ECC memory support and integrated QAT, makes it ideal for applications in telecommunications, industrial automation, and edge computing. While not a mainstream consumer CPU, the Xeon D-2146NT remains a solid choice for specialized systems requiring reliability, integrated acceleration, and efficient power usage.
