Intel® Xeon™ w3-2535

The Intel Xeon w3-2535 is a workstation processor with 10 cores and 20 threads, built on the Sapphire Rapids architecture. It launched in Jul 2024. Clocks run from 3.5 GHz base to 4.6 GHz boost. A 26.25-MB L3 cache backs the cores (4.7 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 185 W. Notable platform capabilities: AMX, AVX-512, Extended Page Tables (EPT), Control-flow Enforcement (CET).

The Intel Xeon w3-2535 scores 3,447 in single-core performance and 33,517 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 10,749 for overall performance, 26,612 for productivity performance, 24,639 for creator performance, 35,402 for engineering performance and 18,720 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 3,352 per core, 1,676 per thread and 181 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 790. Its performance index is 133, so its overall performance is 33% 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 w3-2535 scores 104,596 in integer math, 83,582 in floating-point math, 414,399 in compression, 20,931 in cryptography, 1,863 in physics simulation, 34,318 in vector SIMD, 148 in the prime sieve and 43,413 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 78% above in integer math, 82% above in floating-point math, 82% above in compression, 82% above in cryptography, 71% above in physics simulation, 121% above in vector SIMD, 121% above in the prime sieve and 92% 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 w3-2535 has 10 physical cores and runs 20 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 3.50 GHz and boosts up to 4.60 GHz.

The Intel Xeon w3-2535 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 Jul 2024.

The Intel Xeon w3-2535 has 800 KB of L1 cache, 20 MB of L2 cache and 26.3 MB of L3 cache. That adds up to about 47.0 MB of cache, or 4.70 MB per core. Each core has 2 MB of private L2 cache.

The Intel Xeon w3-2535 has a 3-level cache hierarchy: L1 at 800 KB, L2 at 20 MB and L3 at 26.3 MB. L3 is the largest level and makes up about 56% of the cache listed here.

The Intel Xeon w3-2535 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 w3-2535 does not include integrated graphics, so a discrete graphics card is required for display output.

The Intel Xeon w3-2535 uses the FCLGA4677 socket, supports PCI Express 5.0 and provides up to 64 PCIe lanes.

The Intel Xeon w3-2535 has a rated TDP of 185 W.
