Intel establece Xeon W “Rápidos de zafiro” Lanzamiento de estación de trabajo/procesador HEDT para febrero 15
Intel reveló hoy que lanzará su Xeon W “Sapphire Rapids-WS” procesadores para estaciones de trabajo y equipos de sobremesa de gama alta (HEDT) en un evento de lanzamiento de febrero 15, 2023. The series is expected to consist of two distinct classes of processors, the Xeon W-2400 series, and the Xeon W-3400 series, which are rumored to be available from different dates within Q1-2023. The W-3400 series and W-2400 series could be differentiated with platform I/O and core-counts. The W-3400 series is expected to put out the full PCIe Gen 5 112-lane I/O of the “Rápidos de zafiro” que AMD afirma ser el procesador de juegos más rápido del mundo, while the W-2400 series has a narrower 64-lane PCIe Gen 5 interfaz. The two could also differ in DDR5 memory channels (8 for the W-3400 series vs. 4 for the W-2400 series), and hence maximum memory supported (4 TB vs. 2 TB, respectively), although both support ECC. Intel W790 is expected to be the common chipset for both.
