Intel® Xeon™ W-3245

The Intel Xeon W-3245 is a workstation processor with 16 cores and 32 threads, built on the Cascade Lake architecture. It launched in Apr 2019. Clocks run from 3.2 GHz base to 4.4 GHz boost. A 22-MB L3 cache backs the cores (2.4 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 205 W. Notable platform capabilities: AVX-512, Extended Page Tables (EPT).

The Intel Xeon W-3245 scores 2,558 in single-core performance and 31,138 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 8,925 for overall performance, 23,821 for productivity performance, 21,730 for creator performance, 35,809 for engineering performance and 15,459 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 1,946 per core, 973 per thread and 152 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 623. Its performance index is 111, so its overall performance is 11% 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-3245 scores 111,359 in integer math, 67,046 in floating-point math, 535,574 in compression, 13,257 in cryptography, 2,101 in physics simulation, 31,737 in vector SIMD, 117 in the prime sieve and 60,354 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 89% above in integer math, 46% above in floating-point math, 135% above in compression, 15% above in cryptography, 93% above in physics simulation, 105% above in vector SIMD, 75% above in the prime sieve and 166% 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-3245 has 16 physical cores and runs 32 logical threads. It runs 2 threads per core. It runs at a base clock of 3.20 GHz and boosts up to 4.40 GHz.
