As we’ve seen, AMD’s Threadripper 7000 has achieved lots of harm to Intel. At the identical time, it’s onerous to compete with a 96c/192t CPU when you might have little higher than a 56-core mannequin. However, the corporate is attempting one thing with its Xeon W-2500. A limp response that will probably be primarily based on platform somewhat than efficiency!
Xeon W-2500: solely 26 cores, no higher!
This household of processors is designed for motherboards geared up with LGA-4677 sockets. These processors additionally characteristic 4 reminiscence channels, however are distinguished by a consequent variety of PCIe 5.0 traces: these processors have a complete of 64 PCIe 5.0 traces, in contrast with 48 out of a complete of 88 with the Threadripper 7000.
Otherwise, when it comes to CPU configurations, we discover fashions with 8 cores to a most of 26 cores. In phrases of frequencies, these CPUs run at 4.5 GHz in turbo mode (W3-2525) and may attain 4.8 GHz for the quickest fashions. TDPs vary from 175W to 250W for probably the most power-hungry mannequin. Finally, L2 cache reminiscence is 2 MB per core, whereas L3 is between 22.5 MB and 48.75 MB. Details:
- W3-2525: 175W – 8c/16t – 22.5 MB L3 – 4.5 GHz
- W3-2535: 185W – 10c/20t – 26.25 MB L3 – 4.6 GHz
- W5-2545: 210W – 12c/24t – 30 MB L3 – 4.7 GHz
- W5-2555X: 210W – 14c/28t – 33.75 L3 – 4.8 GHz
- W5-2565X: 240W – 18c/36t – 37.5 Mb L3 – 4.8 GHz
- W7-2575X: 240W – 22c/44t – 45 Mb L3 – 4.8 GHz
- W7-2595X: 250W – 26c/52t – 48.75 MB L3 – 4.8 GHz
