Xeon X3470 Details

The Intel Xeon X3470 stands out for its balanced performance in multi-threaded workloads, particularly for its time, offering a strong multicore score that places it among mid-tier processors in its generation. Released during the early 2010s, the Xeon X3470 is now considered a legacy processor, with its 45 nm manufacturing process and LGA1156 socket reflecting older architecture. Despite its age, it remains relevant in certain enterprise and workstation environments where integrated features and ECC memory support are required.

Built on the Nehalem microarchitecture, the Xeon X3470 features four cores and eight threads, thanks to Intel’s Hyper-Threading technology, allowing it to efficiently handle multiple tasks simultaneously. It operates at a base clock of 2.93 GHz, with a turbo frequency of up to 3.6 GHz, enabling dynamic performance scaling based on workload demands. The processor supports DDR3 memory at speeds of 800, 1066, and 1333 MHz, with a maximum memory capacity of 32 GB across two channels, delivering a peak memory bandwidth of 21 GB/s.

The Xeon X3470 includes integrated UHD Graphics 630, which supports up to three displays and operates at a base frequency of 350 MHz, with a burst frequency of 1050 MHz. While not intended for gaming or heavy graphical tasks, this GPU provides sufficient performance for basic multimedia playback and light graphical applications. The processor also supports a range of advanced technologies, including AES-NI for encryption, AVX2 for enhanced floating-point operations, and VT-x and VT-d for robust virtualization capabilities.

In benchmark testing, the Xeon X3470 achieves an overall score of 4699, ranking #1105 out of 2060 processors. Its single-core performance is particularly strong, scoring 4731 and placing it at #1133, outperforming several modern desktop CPUs in this category. However, its multicore performance, at 4652 and ranked #1027, suggests that while it holds its own in single-threaded applications, it begins to show limitations in heavily threaded workloads compared to contemporary processors.

When compared to its contemporaries, the Xeon X3470 holds its own against CPUs like the Core i7-2720QM and the FX-6200, but it is surpassed by more recent models such as the Core i7-6500U and the Xeon X5687. Its performance is especially notable when considering its TDP of 95 W, offering a reasonable balance between power consumption and performance for server and workstation applications.

As of March 2026, the Xeon X3470 is best suited for legacy systems, small-scale server deployments, or environments where ECC memory and integrated virtualization support are critical. While it no longer competes with modern high-end CPUs, its reliability and feature set make it a viable option for specific use cases in older infrastructure.
