Today we have spoken in a leak about the new Intel Xeon W9-3495X, some Sapphire Rapids processors that, with 56 cores and 112 threadsarrive at the head of a new range of processors for workstations that is made up, in the case of this new announcement from Intel, by two different ranges of processors called W-2400 and W-3400.
These processors will come at very different prices, because although the W-2400 range starts from a relatively modest $359as we saw in today’s leak, the Intel Xeon W9-3495X reaches $5889, an imposing price to pay for a chip that, among its characteristics, It boasts 64 PCI Express 5.0 lanes, 56 cores, eight channels of DDR5 memory, and 105MB of L3 cache.
Likewise, we find a complete repertoire of accelerators that will allow us to optimize the processor for any task we face, up to 4TB of memory DDR5 RAM and a advanced packaging with EMIB which will bring out the best of these processors in multi-threaded performance by reduce latency between cores.
According to Intel figures, these processors have with up to 28 percent more single-wire performance, as well as 120 percent more multithreaded performance than the previous generation – something to be expected when compared to a chip with half the number of cores.
