Intel® Xeon™ W-3235

The Intel Xeon W-3235 is a workstation processor with 12 cores and 24 threads, built on the Cascade Lake architecture. It launched in Apr 2019. Clocks run from 3.3 GHz base to 4.4 GHz boost. A 19.25-MB L3 cache backs the cores (2.6 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 180 W. Notable platform capabilities: AVX-512, Extended Page Tables (EPT).

The Intel Xeon W-3235 scores 2,635 in single-core performance and 25,660 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 8,223 for overall performance, 20,368 for productivity performance, 18,856 for creator performance, 27,905 for engineering performance and 14,320 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 2,138 per core, 1,069 per thread and 143 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 613. Its performance index is 102, so its overall performance is 2% above 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-3235 scores 86,910 in integer math, 51,523 in floating-point math, 418,123 in compression, 10,494 in cryptography, 1,837 in physics simulation, 25,757 in vector SIMD, 96 in the prime sieve and 46,344 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 48% above in integer math, 12% above in floating-point math, 83% above in compression, 9% below in cryptography, 69% above in physics simulation, 66% above in vector SIMD, 43% above in the prime sieve and 105% 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-3235 has 12 physical cores and runs 24 logical threads. It runs 2 threads per core. It runs at a base clock of 3.30 GHz and boosts up to 4.40 GHz.
