Intel, on Wednesday, launched two new processors aimed at professional creators. Code-named Sapphire Rapids, the Xenon W-3400 and W-2400 come with support for DDR5 RDIMM memory, PCIe Gen 5.0, and Wi-Fi 6E.
The new processors from Intel are available with up to 56 cores single sockets. The top-end Intel Xeon w9-3495X processor features a redesigned memory controller and larger L3 cache, delivering up to 28% single-thread1 and up to 120% multi-thread performance improvements over the previous generation, the company claims.
Operational frequencies up to 4.8 gigahertz with Intel Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0 also allow the processors to provide professional users with improved computing performance in daily workloads.
Additionally, the new processors also come with support for Intel vPro enterprise technology, alongside ECC memory which allows for reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS) technologies to ensure workstation uptime is maximised so professionals don’t have to worry about workflow interruptions, the company shared.
