Upcoming Intel Xeon W9-3495X CPU appears on Geekbench

Intel's new Xeon W-series processors should be coming soon, and as such, benchmark results have started to show up online. The first result was from the Geekbench database, and it's from a sample of the upcoming Xeon W9-3495X CPU, the flagship product of the W-3400 series.

The Geekbench entry found by Benchleaks shows the Intel Xeon W9-3495X CPU was running on a Supermicro X13SWA-TF motherboard with 128GB of DDR5-4800 memory. Moreover, the entry confirms some of the rumoured specs, including the 56 cores (no mention of HyperThreading), a base clock speed of 1.9 GHz and a maximum boost speed of 4.6 GHz. Lastly, we can see the chip has 105MB of L3 cache and 56MB of L2 cache.

Considering this is the new Xeon W flagship workstation processor, it's fair to compare it with AMD's equivalent, the Ryzen Threadripper Pro 5995WX. Compared to the 1,517 points obtained by AMD's CPU in the single-core test, Intel's chip is about 15% slower, scoring 1,284 points. In the multi-core benchmark, AMD's CPU is also in the lead, scoring regularly over 40K points versus the 36,990 score achieved by the Xeon processor in Geekbench.

Intel has already announced that the Xeon W3400/2400 series will be available on February 15th.

KitGuru says: A single benchmark doesn't provide enough data to make any definitive conclusions, but more information should come to light as we get closer to launch.
