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.

This is how the Radeon RX 7900 GRE for 570 euros can catch up with the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super for 840 euros. Overclocking the RX 7900 GRE gives a good boost
AMD has solved the problem with overclocking the memory of the Radeon RX 7900 GRE video card, and recent tests have shown that the adapter now looks much more attractive. Of course, for those who want to resort to overclocking.
The authors of Hardware Unboxed took the Sapphire adapter and overclocked it to 2.7 GHz for the core and 21.2 GHz for the memory.
As you can see, the performance increase turned out to be quite good. At 1440p, the overclocked card became 12% faster relative to the reference one, and at 4K the increase was almost 17%, which is very good by modern standards.
As a result, after overclocking, the RX 7900 GRE competes with the RTX 4070 Ti at 1440p, and reaches the RTX 4070 Ti Super at 4K. At the same time, the RX 7900 GRE in Europe costs from 570 euros, the RTX 4070 Ti – from 700 euros, and the RTX 4070 Ti Super – from 840 euros. Of course, Nvidia cards can also be overclocked, but the price difference will still remain.

Just four big cores, no Hyper-Threading, and this is Intel’s new flagship. The top processor of the Lunar Lake generation appeared on the Internet
Not only new Intel video cards, but also a new processor appeared in the SiSoftware Sandra database today. The Lunar Lake model included in the Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro is registered in the software database, revealing some of its parameters.
The unnamed CPU contains only eight cores (four large and four small), but for Lunar Lake this is the maximum. The presence of only eight threads confirms leaks that future Intel CPUs do not support Hyper-Threading.
The processor operated at frequencies of 1.6-2.8 GHz. These are clearly far from the final frequencies, but Lunar Lake is created with an eye to maximum energy efficiency, so perhaps they will not have very high frequencies.
The CPU also has 12 MB of L3 cache and a Xe2-LPG (Battlemage) generation GPU with 4 Xe cores and a frequency of 1.85 GHz.
According to the latest roadmap, Lunar Lake is expected at the end of this year.

Such Intel processors allegedly do not exist at all, but there is already a motherboard for them. IBASE MI1002 is designed for desktop Core Ultra
Intel Meteor Lake processors only exist in mobile versions. Or not? The IBASE MI1002 industrial motherboard indicates that Intel is either planning or has already released Core Ultra as a desktop CPU.
The board with the LGA 1851 socket is designed for Meteor Lake-PS, which Intel has not officially presented. There were rumors and leaks about such desktop CPUs, but then it became known that Intel abandoned the idea. True, there was also evidence that such processors would still be released, but not in retail, but would be available to mini-PC manufacturers. Whether such mini-PCs will appear in retail is still anyone’s guess, but in the industrial sector, as we see, yes.
As for the parameters of such CPUs, they are not yet available. Most likely, these are just mobile models in a different socket – Intel has already done this.
