Intel Xeon 6730P vs Intel Xeon 6731P: Comparison
Intel Xeon 6730P and Intel Xeon 6731P track each other closely enough on paper that the specifications alone will not decide which processors (cpus) to buy. They match on 29 other specifications, including product line, form factor and codename. In SPECrate® 2017 Integer (base), 1-chip the Intel Xeon 6731P scores 380 against 367 for the Intel Xeon 6730P, a lead of 3%.

Benchmarks
Measured results, not specifications. Percentages are the gap to the leading product in each test.
SPECrate® 2017 Integer (base), 1-chip
Best published 1-chip result on spec.org, retrieved 23 Sept 2026.
SPECrate 2017 Integer runs ten integer workloads, including a compiler, file compression, a chess engine and route planning, with one copy per hardware thread. The score is throughput against a fixed reference machine, so it reflects multi-core server and workstation work rather than gaming. Each figure is the best result a hardware vendor published on spec.org for a one-chip system, so the server, memory and compiler behind each chip differ.
SPECrate® 2017 Floating Point (base), 1-chip
Best published 1-chip result on spec.org, retrieved 23 Sept 2026.
SPECrate 2017 Floating Point runs thirteen scientific and engineering workloads, including weather and climate models, fluid dynamics, molecular dynamics and ray tracing, with one copy per hardware thread. It rewards core count, vector units and memory bandwidth, which is why server chips with many memory channels lead it. Each figure is the best result a hardware vendor published on spec.org for a one-chip system, so the server, memory and compiler behind each chip differ.

Verdict
Intel Xeon 6730P
8.7 / 10 Expert Rating
The Intel Xeon 6730P is the standard-bin 32-core Granite Rapids part, a safe default for enterprise virtualization and database hosts that don't need the higher-clocked 6737P/6738P.
Intel Xeon 6731P
8.7 / 10 Expert Rating
The Intel Xeon 6731P is a parallel-SKU twin of the 6730P, useful when OEM qualification or supply constraints call for an alternate part number at the same 32-core performance point.
