INTEL XEON W9 3495X 56-Core/1.90 GHz PROCESSOR

he Intel Xeon W9-3495X (commonly referred to when someone mentions a 56-core / 1.90 GHz Xeon W9 processor) is a flagship workstation-class CPU engineered to power extremely demanding professional and enterprise workloads. It features 56 physical cores and 112 threads, delivering extraordinary multi-threaded performance for tasks such as advanced 3D rendering, large-scale simulations, scientific computing, virtualization, and complex data analysis. With a base clock speed of 1.90 GHz and support for Intel Turbo Boost Technology that can dynamically accelerate frequencies up to 4.80 GHz when extra performance is needed, it offers both efficient baseline performance and strong bursts for single-threaded workloads. Built on Intel’s Sapphire Rapids-WS architecture, this processor includes 105 MB of Intel Smart Cache, supports eight-channel DDR5-4800 MHz ECC memory for massive memory bandwidth, and provides up to 112 PCIe 5.0 lanes for high-bandwidth expansion and storage connectivity. Combined with workstation-grade reliability features like ECC support, advanced instruction-set enhancements (AVX-512, AMX, Deep Learning Boost), and high throughput under sustained loads, the Xeon W9-3495X is ideal for mission-critical systems where maximum performance and stability are essential.
