Intel Xeon W-3245

16C/32T · 4.4 GHz · 205 W

The Intel Xeon W-3245 is a workstation processor from Intel's Xeon W-3200 series, built on the Cascade Lake-W microarchitecture on a 14 nm process. It offers 16 cores and 32 threads with Hyper-Threading, a 3.20 GHz base clock, and Intel Turbo Boost 2.0 speeds up to 4.40 GHz. The chip pairs 22 MB of L3 cache with six-channel DDR4-2933 ECC memory support (up to 1 TB) and 64 lanes of PCI Express 3.0 connectivity on a single-socket LGA3647 platform. It launched in the second quarter of 2019 at a recommended price of $2,199, targeting professional workstations for CAD, rendering, and simulation workloads.
