Intel® Xeon™ W-3225

The Intel Xeon W-3225 is a workstation processor with 8 cores and 16 threads, built on the Cascade Lake architecture. It launched in Apr 2019. Clocks run from 3.7 GHz base to 4.3 GHz boost. A 16.5-MB L3 cache backs the cores (3.1 MB per core). It addresses DDR4 memory up to 1 GB across 6 channels. The chip drops into the FCLGA3647 socket and exposes PCIe 3.0 (64 lanes). Rated TDP is 160 W. Notable platform capabilities: AVX-512, Extended Page Tables (EPT).

The Intel Xeon W-3225 scores 2,357 in single-core performance and 18,251 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 6,559 for overall performance, 15,163 for productivity performance, 14,281 for creator performance, 18,707 for engineering performance and 11,634 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 2,281 per core, 1,141 per thread and 114 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 519. Its performance index is 81, so its overall performance is 19% below the Intel Core i5-12400 (index 100). Each bar shows the score as a share of a reference ceiling, which is the larger of the 99th-percentile score across the Feex CPU database and a fixed baseline.

Scores for individual PassMark CPU Mark test categories. Higher is better. These are measured test scores, not computed from the single-core and multi-core ratings.

In the individual workload tests the Intel Xeon W-3225 scores 60,158 in integer math, 37,165 in floating-point math, 259,032 in compression, 6,522 in cryptography, 1,296 in physics simulation, 21,102 in vector SIMD, 71 in the prime sieve and 33,170 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 2% above in integer math, 19% below in floating-point math, 14% above in compression, 43% below in cryptography, 19% above in physics simulation, 36% above in vector SIMD, 6% above in the prime sieve and 46% above in sorting. Each bar shows the score as a share of that workload's reference ceiling, the larger of the 99th-percentile score across CPUs with a recorded value and a fixed baseline.

The Intel Xeon W-3225 has 8 physical cores and runs 16 logical threads. It runs 2 threads per core. It runs at a base clock of 3.70 GHz and boosts up to 4.30 GHz.
