Intel Xeon W-3400/2400 series processor and W790 chipset: Detailed specifications and release schedule

by ddos ·

Intel confirmed last month that the Sapphire Rapids HEDT/workstation processor and the corresponding Fishhawk Falls platform will be released on February 15 this year. Coming soon are the Intel Xeon WX-3400 series and Xeon WX-2400 series processors and the W790 chipset. Its direct competitor is AMD’s Ryzen Threadripper series, which is still the Zen 3 architecture for the time being and has not yet been upgraded to the Zen 4 architecture.

Although Intel has succeeded in Alder Lake and Raptor Lake, only 8 P-Cores are difficult to meet the needs of some application scenarios, and Sapphire Rapids can be configured with up to 56 P-Cores, which is obviously much more powerful and can bring a much-needed update to Intel’s HEDT/workstation processor product line. According to Wccftech, detailed information about Xeon WX-2400/3400 series processors and platforms, as well as specific release schedules, have been obtained.
