Intel® Xeon™ 698X

The Intel Xeon 698X is a workstation processor with 86 cores and 172 threads, built on the Granite Rapids architecture. It launched in Jan 2026. Clocks run from 2.0 GHz base to 4.8 GHz boost. A 336-MB L3 cache backs the cores (3.9 MB per core). It addresses DDR5 memory up to 4 GB across 8 channels. The chip drops into the FCLGA4710 socket and exposes PCIe 5.0 (128 lanes). Rated TDP is 350 W. Notable platform capabilities: AMX, AVX-512, Extended Page Tables (EPT), Control-flow Enforcement (CET).

The Intel Xeon 698X has 86 physical cores and runs 172 logical threads. It does not use a hybrid performance and efficiency core layout. It runs 2 threads per core. It runs at a base clock of 2.00 GHz and boosts up to 4.80 GHz.
