There has been an announcement from Intel regarding the Sapphire Rapids workstation processors. Intel Xeon W-3400 and W-2400 workstation processors are designed for professional content creators and come with significant performance improvements over the previous generation. In addition to being versatile workstations, they are also easily adaptable to different fields of study, such as media, entertainment, engineering, and data science, due to their adaptability.

In addition to the innovative computing architecture that the Xeon workstation processors feature, the new multi-die interconnect bridge packaging enables the processors to operate at high speeds. Consequently, this allows an unprecedented level of scalability on top of an increase in performance. There is no doubt that the Xeon W-3400 and W-2400 are excellent choices for professionals in a variety of fields thanks to their advanced computing capabilities.

As far as memory is concerned, the processors are equipped with DDR5 RDIMM, PCIe Gen 5.0, and Wi-Fi 6E, all of which are cutting-edge platform technologies that will help with future computing workloads and improve performance. It should be noted, however, that the Intel Xeon W9-3495X is the most powerful Intel desktop workstation processor on the market today. There was an announcement last month about the Intel Core i9-13900KS processor. An optimum turbo frequency of 6.0GHz can be achieved by this processor.

It has up to 56 cores in a single socket and is Intel’s Xeon W9-3495X processor. In addition, this version has a redesigned memory controller, as well as a larger L3 cache than its predecessor. This translates into a 28% improvement in terms of single-thread performance and a 120% improvement in terms of multi-thread performance. The workstation can operate at frequencies up to 4.8GHz. The Intel Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0 provides professionals with impressive computing power for daily tasks.

The Intel Xeon W-3400 and W-2400 are available for pre-order but will be available for system use in March 2023. The price of the Intel Xeon lineup of desktop workstation processors starts at $359 and tops at $5,889 for the Xeon W9-3495X.
