What Is MIPS (Million Instructions Per Second) Number for Intel® Xeon® Processors?

Content Type: Maintenance & Performance   |   Article ID: 000057052   |   Last Reviewed: 09/17/2021

Description

  • Unable to find the MIPS (Million Instructions Per Second) information for Intel® Xeon® Processors.
  • MIPS information requested to compare processors for various uses, such as processing voice compression streams.

 

Resolution

  • Intel does not use MIPS to measure processor performance.
  • Instead, Intel makes available APP (Adjusted Peak Performance) and GFLOPS (Giga-Floating Point Operations Per Second).
  • To obtain the processor's APP and GFLOPS performance information, see Export Compliance Metrics for Intel® Microprocessors.
  • For additional performance information of the latest Intel® Xeon® Processors, see the Performance Index.
