Intel® Xeon™ w5-2545

The Intel Xeon w5-2545 is a workstation processor with 12 cores and 24 threads, built on the Sapphire Rapids architecture. It launched in Jul 2024. Clocks run from 3.5 GHz base to 4.7 GHz boost. A 30-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 210 W. Notable platform capabilities: AMX, AVX-512, Extended Page Tables (EPT), Control-flow Enforcement (CET).

The Intel Xeon w5-2545 scores 3,587 in single-core performance and 41,119 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 12,145 for overall performance, 31,749 for productivity performance, 29,072 for creator performance, 44,717 for engineering performance and 21,041 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 3,427 per core, 1,713 per thread and 196 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 838. Its performance index is 151, so its overall performance is 51% 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 w5-2545 scores 135,631 in integer math, 105,411 in floating-point math, 519,538 in compression, 26,429 in cryptography, 2,485 in physics simulation, 42,393 in vector SIMD, 182 in the prime sieve and 53,988 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 130% above in integer math, 130% above in floating-point math, 128% above in compression, 130% above in cryptography, 128% above in physics simulation, 173% above in vector SIMD, 172% above in the prime sieve and 138% 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 w5-2545 has 12 physical cores and runs 24 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 4.70 GHz.

The Intel Xeon w5-2545 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 w5-2545 has 960 KB of L1 cache, 24 MB of L2 cache and 30 MB of L3 cache. That adds up to about 54.9 MB of cache, or 4.58 MB per core. Each core has 2 MB of private L2 cache.

The Intel Xeon w5-2545 has a 3-level cache hierarchy: L1 at 960 KB, L2 at 24 MB and L3 at 30 MB. L3 is the largest level and makes up about 55% of the cache listed here.

The Intel Xeon w5-2545 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 w5-2545 does not include integrated graphics, so a discrete graphics card is required for display output.

The Intel Xeon w5-2545 uses the FCLGA4677 socket, supports PCI Express 5.0 and provides up to 64 PCIe lanes.

The Intel Xeon w5-2545 has a rated TDP of 210 W.
