Xeon E3-1285 v4 Details

The Intel Xeon E3-1285 v4 stands as a notable evolution within Intel's server-focused Xeon E3 lineup, offering a significant leap in performance and feature integration over its predecessors. Launched in June 2015, this processor is built on the Broadwell-DT microarchitecture and manufactured on a 14 nm process, marking a transition to more efficient transistor scaling. While it may now be considered a legacy part, its design and capabilities still hold relevance for specific workloads in server and workstation environments.

Featuring 4 cores and 8 threads thanks to Intel's Hyper-Threading technology, the Xeon E3-1285 v4 operates at a base frequency of 3.5 GHz, with a maximum turbo frequency of 3.8 GHz. This enables it to handle multi-threaded applications efficiently, though its single-core performance is more pronounced. The processor includes a substantial 5.722 MiB of L3 cache, complemented by 0.061 MiB of L1 and 0.244 MiB of L2 cache, contributing to its balanced performance in both memory-intensive and compute-heavy tasks. It is designed for the Socket 1150 platform and has a TDP of 95 W, indicating a need for adequate cooling under sustained loads.

One of the most distinctive features of the Xeon E3-1285 v4 is its integrated Intel Iris Pro P6300 graphics, a departure from typical server CPUs that often lack integrated graphics. This GPU features 64 execution units and can reach up to 1.15 GHz, allowing for basic visual processing without a discrete card. Additionally, the processor supports DDR4 memory at up to 1866 MT/s in a dual-channel configuration, with ECC memory support—a critical advantage for data integrity in server and professional applications.

In benchmark testing, the Xeon E3-1285 v4 achieves an overall score of 5239, placing it at rank #669 among 2060 processors. Its single-core performance is particularly strong, scoring 5456 and ranking #586, outperforming several modern consumer CPUs like the Core i5-7400 and Core i7-5775C. However, its multicore performance, with a score of 4914 and rank #712, shows it is competitive but not class-leading. This suggests the processor excels in single-threaded applications and tasks that benefit from high clock speeds, such as virtualization and certain server workloads.

The Xeon E3-1285 v4 supports a range of advanced technologies, including AVX2, FMA3, and Intel vPro, enhancing its capabilities in scientific computing, virtualization, and system management. It also includes hardware virtualization features like VT-x and VT-d, enabling robust virtual machine performance and direct hardware access for guest systems. These features, combined with ECC memory support and a high TDP, make it suitable for demanding server and workstation environments.

As of March 2026, the Xeon E3-1285 v4 remains a capable processor for legacy systems, virtualization setups, and applications that prioritize single-core performance and integrated graphics. While it is no longer competitive with modern high-end CPUs, its combination of ECC memory, integrated graphics, and robust virtualization support ensures it still holds value in specific professional and server niches.
