Sapphire Rapids Arrives
Intel introduced their new desktop workstation processors yesterday, with the Xeon W-3400 and Xeon W-2400 sequence elements. The flagship is the Xeon w9-3495X, a 56-core, 112-thread monster that Intel calls their “strongest desktop workstation processor ever designed”. These CPUs function Intel’s Sapphire Rapids structure, constructed with “new embedded multi-die interconnect bridge (EMIB) packaging”.
Greater than a compute improve, the general platform for these new processors has been enormously improved in comparison with earlier generations, with as much as 112 PCIe 5.0 lanes (W-3400) and 8-channel DDR5 RDIMM assist (as much as 4 TB) among the many standout options.
