Intel® Xeon™ w3-2423

The Intel Xeon w3-2423 is a workstation processor with 6 cores and 12 threads, built on the Sapphire Rapids architecture. It launched in Jan 2023. Clocks run from 2.1 GHz base to 4.2 GHz boost. A 15-MB L3 cache backs the cores (4.6 MB per core). It addresses DDR5 memory up to 2 GB across 4 channels. The chip drops into the FCLGA4677 socket and exposes PCIe 5.0 (64 lanes). Rated TDP is 120 W. Notable platform capabilities: AMX, AVX-512, Extended Page Tables (EPT), Control-flow Enforcement (CET).

The Intel Xeon w3-2423 scores 2,723 in single-core performance and 15,933 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 6,587 for overall performance, 14,169 for productivity performance, 13,665 for creator performance, 15,833 for engineering performance and 12,152 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 2,656 per core, 1,328 per thread and 133 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 601. Its performance index is 82, so its overall performance is 18% 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 w3-2423 scores 44,938 in integer math, 36,308 in floating-point math, 180,315 in compression, 9,097 in cryptography, 1,133 in physics simulation, 14,872 in vector SIMD, 78 in the prime sieve and 18,672 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 24% below in integer math, 21% below in floating-point math, 21% below in compression, 21% below in cryptography, 4% above in physics simulation, 4% below in vector SIMD, 16% above in the prime sieve and 18% below 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 w3-2423 has 6 physical cores and runs 12 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 2.10 GHz and boosts up to 4.20 GHz.

The Intel Xeon w3-2423 is a workstation processor, belongs to the Intel Xeon W family, uses the Sapphire Rapids architecture and carries the codename Sapphire Rapids. It launched in Jan 2023.

The Intel Xeon w3-2423 has 480 KB of L1 cache, 12 MB of L2 cache and 15 MB of L3 cache. That adds up to about 27.5 MB of cache, or 4.58 MB per core. Each core has 2 MB of private L2 cache.

The Intel Xeon w3-2423 has a 3-level cache hierarchy: L1 at 480 KB, L2 at 12 MB and L3 at 15 MB. L3 is the largest level and makes up about 55% of the cache listed here.

The Intel Xeon w3-2423 supports DDR5 memory, addresses up to 2 GB of memory and uses 4 memory channels. It does not support DDR4 and LPDDR memory.

The Intel Xeon w3-2423 does not include integrated graphics, so a discrete graphics card is required for display output.

The Intel Xeon w3-2423 uses the FCLGA4677 socket, supports PCI Express 5.0 and provides up to 64 PCIe lanes.

The Intel Xeon w3-2423 has a rated TDP of 120 W.
