Intel's upcoming high-end desktop (HEDT) processor lineup for enthusiasts and prosumers is around the corner, and today, we managed to see the flagship SKU - the Xeon W9-3595X. Spotted recently on Geekbench benchmarks, this new chip packs a whopping 60 cores and 120 threads, making it Intel's highest core count HEDT offering yet. The Xeon W9-3595X is based on Intel's advanced Sapphire Rapids architecture, built using the Intel 7 process node. It succeeds the previous flagship 56-core W9-3495X, with four additional cores crammed into the new 350 Watt TDP envelope. Clock speeds have taken a slight hit to accommodate the extra cores, with the maximum turbo frequency lowered from 4.8 GHz on the 3495X to 4.6 GHz on the new 3595X.

However, with more cores, the 3595X should still offer a significant multi-threaded performance uplift for heavily parallel workloads. The Xeon W9-3595X will drop into existing LGA-4677 motherboards, like the ASUS PRO WS 790-ACE, after a BIOS update. It features 112 MB of L3 cache, 120 MB of L2 cache (2 MB per core), and continues Intel's push towards higher core counts for enthusiasts, content creators, and workstation users who need maximum multi-threaded horsepower. Pricing and availability details remain unannounced as of now. But with an appearance on public databases, an official launch of the 60-core HEDT juggernaut seems imminent. These new Sapphire Rapids SKUs will likely have extra AI features, like dedicated AI acceleration engines, in the same manner that server-class SKUs do.

Cooling No, it's a 2.2W processor

Keyboard Logitech MX Keys (not Cherry MX at all)
VR HMD Samsung Oddyssey, not that I'd plug it into this though....
Software W10 21H1, barely
Benchmark Scores I once clocked a Celeron-300A to 564MHz on an Abit BE6 and it scored over 9000.
It all depends on pricing.

AMD are uncontested in the HEDT sector right now so they can charge $5000 for a 64-core part like the 7980X - I'm not sure what the Threadripper Pro 7995WX is going to cost but probably $10K.

Honestly, what I'd like to see in the HEDT space would be some Intel E-core options vs Zen4C options. For the same die area as the Xeon W9-3595X Intel could make a 4P+180E CPU. Likewise, 16-core Zen4C CCDs could double threadripper core counts for the same silicon cost. A threadripper with one Zen4 8-core chiplet and 7 more 16-core Zen4C chiplets would be mind-blowingly potent with very few downsides.

50% more cores compared to what?

The way the text is written it seems to be talking in terms of comparison to the 3495X. But, uh, unless I am mistaken, 60 vs 56 cores isn’t a 50% increase.

Precisely.

A new Sapphire Rapids product? After Emerald Rapids has already been available for a month? The HEDT market is a late market I guess.

Has anyone noticed that it is CPUID: 806F8? ( family 6 ext. fam. 143 stepping 8 )
this is the same as the 3495X stepping E5
But Emerald Rapids SP have C06F2 & C06F1
edit: now they changed some text...to Sapphire Rapids.
60 cores was possible before, each tile of the four has 15 cores.
just a refresh like from 13th to 14th core gen.
