Hardware Intel Xeon W-3175X 28 Cores and Core i9-9900K 8-Core

eva2000 · Oct 9, 2018

Intel has launched new workstation Xeon W-3xxx series and new desktop Intel Core i9 series with flagships for their respective line ups being Intel extreme workstation series, Xeon W-3175x 28 core cpu (Skylake/Cascade Lake) and Intel Core i9-9900K 8 core cpus.

Intel Announces Xeon W-3175X: 28-Core Processor for Extreme Workstations

Intel Xeon W-3175X

Today in New York, Intel announced a part that it teased at Computex 2018 in June. The Intel Xeon W-3175X is said to have 28 cores, 56 threads, and a 3.1GHz base clock/ 4.3GHz Turbo. More exciting is that this is an unlocked frequency part, meaning that one can go higher, albeit using more power. Like the Intel Xeon Platinum 8180, the Intel Xeon W-3175X supports 38.5MB cache and six channels of DDR4-2666 with ECC.

Intel X-Series - Core i9 refresh

Pretty sure we have AMD Ryzen, ThreadRipper, EPYC to thank for giving Intel a good kick in the back side to start offering more cpu cores

and Intel’s New Core and Xeon W-3175X Processors: Spectre and Meltdown Security Update

At its Fall Desktop PC event earlier today, Intel, among other things, disclosed details concerning mitigations for Spectre and Meltdown vulnerabilities. Unlike Cascade Lake processors for servers and Whiskey Lake processors for notebooks, the new Intel Xeon W-3175X relies on software and firmware fixes for Spectre and Meltdown. By contrast, just like Cascade Lake and Whiskey Lake, the 9th Gen Core i7/i9 processors feature a number of hardware mitigations. Take a look at the state of things today in the table below.

As it currently stands, because the new Coffee Lake Refresh processors, the i9-9900K, the i7-9700K, and the i9-9500K, are built from new silicon designs, Intel was able to implement hardware fixes for variant 3 (rogue data cache load) and L1 terminal fault. These fixes are not in the Core-X Skylake-X Refresh processors as these are still the same silicon but with different binning and cache arrangements.
