Intel is offering a new six-core CPU for $530. The company introduced the Xeon W-3400 and Xeon W-2400 processors at prices ranging from $360 to $5890
Intel has finally unveiled its Sapphire Rapids generation Xeon processors, aimed at workstations and partially consumer consumers. We can say that this is a replacement for the Core X line, which has not been updated for many years. And at the same time, these are competitors for Ryzen Threadripper. At least in terms of positioning.
As we knew earlier, these CPUs are divided into two lines: Xeon W-3400 and W-2400. The separation is similar to what was previously in a pair of Threadripper and Threadripper Pro, but now, we recall, AMD only offers the latter.
Let’s start with the characteristics.
| CPU | Number of cores/threads | Frequencies, GHz | L3 cache, MB | TDP, W | Price, USD |
| Xeon W7-2495X | 24/48 | 2.5-4.8 | 45 | 225 | 2190 |
| Xeon W7-2475X | 20/40 | 2.6-4.8 | 37.5 | 225 | 1790 |
| Xeon W5-2465X | 16/32 | 3.1-4.7 | 33.75 | 200 | 1390 |
| Xeon W5-2455X | 12/24 | 3.2 | thirty | 200 | 1040 |
| Xeon W5-2445 | 10/20 | 3.1-4.6 | 26.25 | 175 | 840 |
| Xeon W3-2435 | 8/16 | 3.1-4.5 | 22.5 | 165 | 670 |
| Xeon W3-2425 | 6/12 | 3.0-4.4 | 15 | 130 | 530 |
| Xeon W3-2423 | 6/12 | 2.1-4.2 | 15 | 120 | 360 |
| CPU | Number of cores/threads | Frequencies, GHz | L3 cache, MB | TDP, W | Price, USD |
| Xeon W9-3495X | 56/112 | 1.9-4.8 | 105 | 350 | 5890 |
| Xeon W9-3475X | 36/72 | 2.2-4.8 | 82.5 | 300 | 3740 |
| Xeon W7-3465X | 28/56 | 2.5-4.8 | 75 | 300 | 2890 |
| Xeon W7-3455 | 24/48 | 2.5-4.8 | 67.5 | 270 | 2490 |
| Xeon W7-3445 | 20/48 | 2.6-4.8 | 52.5 | 270 | 1990 |
| Xeon W5-3435X | 16/32 | 3.1-4.7 | 45 | 270 | 1590 |
| Xeon W5-3425 | 12/24 | 3.2-4.6 | thirty | 270 | 1190 |
As you can see, the lines differ greatly in the number of cores, although they partially overlap. All cores in all models of the specified CPUs are large cores. At the same time, they are based on the architecture of Golden Cove, on which Alder Lake is also based. That is, Intel and AMD now have parity in this parameter, since the current Threadripper is also based on not the latest architecture (Zen 3). True, some rumors say that the Threadripper 7000 may come out at the end of this year, and the top models, like the Epyc Genoa, will have 96 cores.
The new CPUs are manufactured according to the Intel 7 process technology, have an LGA 4677 design, support PCIe 5.0, DDR5-4800 (lower CPUs are limited to DDR5-4400), have a built-in Wi-Fi 6E module and offer four-channel (W-2400) or eight-channel (W-3400 ) RAM controller.
The processors are already available for pre-order from Intel industry partners, and ready-made systems will be available for sale in March. Whether at least junior CPUs will be sold separately in retail is unclear.

Nvidia says its Grace CPU Superchip is twice as fast as x86-compatible processors for the same power consumption
Nvidia said that its Arm-based Grace CPU Superchip processor in tests with real workloads shows a twofold increase in performance compared to x86-compatible CPUs in the same range of power consumption. With which processors Nvidia compared, it is not specified.
The company says these figures mean data centers can handle twice as much peak traffic for the same power consumption if they switch to Grace. Or they can cut their energy bills by almost half while maintaining productivity.
Nvidia itself says that Grace provides such results thanks to three main factors. Firstly, these are 72 Arm Neoverse V2 cores in one CPU (Grace CPU Superchip, we recall, contains two CPUs on one board), and secondly, in fact, the combination of two such CPUs via the NVLink-C2C interface with a bandwidth of 900 GB / s , third, the use of server-class LPDDR5X memory.

Asus GeForce RTX 4090 XG Mobile Graphics Dock external graphics card goes on sale starting at $2,000
Asus introduced the external GeForce RTX 4090 in the form of the XG Mobile Graphics Dock at the beginning of the year. Now this product is on sale for a very impressive amount.
In Japan, they ask for $ 3,000 for the device, but Japanese prices are sometimes much higher than global ones. In this case, the device is also available in Canada for about $2,000.
True, we are talking here, of course, about the mobile RTX 4090 Laptop – it is she who underlies the module. In terms of performance, it roughly matches the desktop RTX 4070 Ti. The module itself consists of two parts: one contains the 3D card itself and a set of ports, and the other houses a 330W power supply. True, the TGP value for the adapter is limited to 150 watts.
Probably the biggest downside of the device is that it is only compatible with select Asus ROG Flow laptops.

A new Nvidia 3D card with 20GB of memory and a 160-bit bus costs $1,250. But the RTX 4000 Ada has very low power consumption
Yesterday Nvidia unveiled the monstrous 188GB H100 NVL graphics accelerator for training language models, and now the company has added a card to its range that sits on the other side of the product line. The RTX 4000 Ada professional adapter is much smaller, much simpler, and clearly much cheaper, though we don’t know the price of the H100 NVL yet.
The RTX 4000 Ada, on the other hand, costs $1,250. And in terms of its parameters, this is a very unusual product. For example, it has 6144 CUDA cores (about as much is attributed to the GeForce RTX 4070 video card), 20 GB of memory, but only a 160-bit bus. At the same time, the consumption of the novelty is so small (70 W) that it does without additional power connectors!
Such a modest power consumption with good parameters is due to the GPU frequency, which reaches only 1.56 GHz. For comparison, the RTX 6000 Ada is 2.5 GHz.
The performance of the novelty (FP32) is 19.2 TFLOPS. Also noteworthy are four Mini DisplayPort connectors and a dual-slot design.
