Intel Xeon W-3175X 28-core Processor Now Available at $2,999

The Intel Xeon W-3175X processor is available today. This unlocked 28-core workstation powerhouse is built for select, highly-threaded and computing-intensive applications such as architectural and industrial design and professional content creation. Built for handling heavily threaded applications and tasks, the Intel Xeon W-3175X processor delivers uncompromising single- and all-core world-class performance for the most advanced professional creators and their demanding workloads.
With the most cores and threads, CPU PCIe lanes, and memory capacity of any Intel desktop processor, the Intel Xeon W-3175X processor has the features that matter for massive mega-tasking projects such as film editing and 3D rendering. Other key features and capabilities:
  • Intel Mesh Architecture, which delivers low latency and high data bandwidth between CPU cores, cache, memory and I/O while increasing the number of cores per processor - a critical need for the demanding, highly-threaded workloads of creators and experts.
  • Intel Extreme Tuning Utility, a precision toolset that helps experienced overclockers optimize their experience with unlocked processors.
  • Intel Extreme Memory Profile, which simplifies the overclockingexperience by removing the guesswork of memory overclocking.
  • Intel Advanced Vector Extensions 512 (Intel AVX-512) ratio offset and memory controller trim voltage control that allow for optimization of overclocking frequencies regardless of SSE or AVX workloads, and allow maximization of memory overclocking.
  • Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 that delivers frequencies up to 4.3 GHz.
  • Up to 68 platform PCIe lanes, 38.5 MB Intel Smart Cache, 6-channel DDR4 memory support with up to 512 GB at 2666 MHz, and ECC and standard RAS support power peripherals and high-speed tools.
  • Intel C621 chipset based systems designed to support the Intel Xeon W-3175X processor allow professional content creators to achieve a new level of performance.
  • Asetek 690LX-PN all-in-one liquid cooler, a custom created solution sold separately by Asetek, helps ensure the processor runs smoothly at both stock settings and while overclocking.
  • With the Intel Xeon W-3175 processor, build the "Infiltrator Demo" in Unreal Engine up to 1.52x faster compared with the Intel Core i9-9980XE processor.
The Intel Xeon W-3175X processor is available from system integrators that develop purpose-built desktop workstations.

Intel Xeon W-3175X:
  • Base Clock Speed (GHz): 3.10
  • Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 Maximum Single Core Turbo Frequency (GHz): 4.3
  • Cores/Threads: 28/56
  • TDP: 255W
  • Intel Smart Cache: 38.5 MB
  • Unlocked: Yes
  • Platform PCIE Lanes: Up to 68
  • Memory Support: Six Channels, DDR4-2666
  • Standard RAS Support: Yes
  • ECC Support: Yes
  • RCP Pricing (USD 1K): $2,999 (per unit in 1000-unit tray quantities)

Vayra86Absolutely, but for PC its not like there are many players in the game at all. Most choice you have is an illusion, the other half is marketing.

I have a whirlpool dishwasher... damn it. :D Still working, knockon wood
Illusion of choice especially applies household appliances... most, save a few Korean imports, are fabricated in the same manufacturing facilities (which have mostly moved to Mexico relatively recently in the last few years) with trims and name plates being the biggest differences.

Smartcom5Then, oh so wise guy, please explain me the following:
Please quit your adolescent behavior and listen, you might actually learn something.
Smartcom5Why on earth even today software is shipped being compiled with such compilers while featuring given flags? … while runnign significant faster even on today's AMD-hardware, if such flags are removed?
That's not true at all. Common software (games, video converters, tools, browsers, photo editors etc.) are not compiled with flags which "hurts" AMD. Firstly, the compiler flags offered in modern compilers like gcc, llvm etc. enables the same optimizations for AMD and Intel. Secondly, most software don't have any of this enabled at all, in fact most out of the box 64-bit software is using plain "AMD64" ISA (x86-64). If you e.g. go download Ubuntu, it will be plain "AMD64".
Smartcom5I'm goddamn serious here, explain it please! It still affecting even today's software running on actual AMD hardware.
You are only plagued by your own delusions, my deepest condolences.

That AIO looks just like a crude DIY solution made of typical AIO and a plate of copper. And it costs 399 usd, you can build a custom loop with the same price.

xkm1948It is 2990WX, W means workstation. It is MEANT for Linux and workstation only. Any researcher with a tiny bit of self-respect would not use a consumer version of Windows 10 for workstation level work. Just saying.
That is so not true. Aren't you a bit too old and serious for this kind of Windows rasism? :-)

I'd love a proper discussion about compiling!
Can you please give an example of what you're talking about? ;-)
Chloe PriceThat AIO looks just like a crude DIY solution. And it costs 399 usd, you can build a custom loop with the same price.
Which brings us the question: why would you want to make a custom loop?
Intel organized a "recommended" AIO so that OEMs wouldn't have to bother. I don't think companies like Dell or Lenovo have ever made a water-cooled system in a desktop tower case. Now they have a guarantee that a sufficient AIO exists.

Actually he lives in NL, so it's quite unlikely that all of household appliances he can buy are made in Mexico.
Please, try to remember that there exists some civilization outside North America. :p

Other that that you have a point. Most of popular appliances are made in the same factories. But:
a) nameplates are not the only difference, because there are still different technologies (IP) and materials involved. So 2 fridges may look almost the same, but their performance and expected lifetime may be vastly different.
b) what we're talking about applies to almost everything manufactured today. Household appliances are by no means special. Think about electronics, car parts, food.

yakkLooks like De8bauer pulled over 1225 watts over just one 24 pin connector + auxiliary?!





Well... there's an odd little small display for a kinda useless animation, so why not have some real 24k gold bling on there? Or you could just straight up buy about 1.5 oz of gold for the same price.
1225W? 24 pin and 8 pin or? Cause only 24 pin should melt it.. I mean, I saw something like that happen to ehm.. friend of mine.

From memory I think it was 24+8(+8?) pin.

I would've thought just one 24 pin would've melted also, but either guess not, or bad editing on the video. Don't see the point of the second 24 pin otherwise.

This video is also the first time I've seen De8auer RIP Asus publicly on something in no uncertain terms...

Holding off buying until Intel releases it's BIg-ger 6000+ pin socket CPU that has 2 3175x dies glued!! together for 48-cores (only 24 cores per die) with no Hyperthreading. Now that's a big CPU
