Intel’s New Monster 28-Core Unlocked Xeon W-3175X CPU

The unlocked chip offers 125GBps of memory bandwidth. The 28-core 56-thread processor’s clock speed starts at 3.1GHz. 

NEW YORK, Intel announced a 28-core chip, the Intel Xeon W-3175X. That surpasses its old record of 18 cores with the i9-7980XE Extreme Edition processor. It will begin shipping this December. The 28-core 56-thread processor’s clock speed starts at 3.1GHz and goes up to 4.3GHz. It has a TDP of 255W and is based on Intel’s Skylake-X architecture. The processor also supports six channels of memory. The unlocked chip offers 125GBps of memory bandwidth. This is, essentially, an overclocked server chip, so it will go into server-class motherboards rather than an X399 chipset.

Asus and Gigabyte will serve as the first motherboard partners for the W-3175X, the company said.

Asus, the ROG Dominus Extreme, and Gigabyte, the SKL-SP 15. These will likely launch with the W-3175. The motherboards feature the C621 chipset, bt there is no word on if these will be branded as X599 or not, and we haven’t been able to get confirmation.
