Intel Announces Xeon W-1200 Processor Line, Comet Lake Wears

Intel immediately introduced the Xeon W-1200 line of socket LGA1200 processors aimed toward enterprises, workstations, and small-scale server builds. These processors are based mostly on the 14 nm “Comet Lake-W” microarchitecture, and are differentiated from the 10th technology Core “Comet Lake-S” processor household in that includes ECC reminiscence help, vPro help on choose SKUs, and the UHD P630 built-in graphics resolution. These processors can be supported on motherboards based mostly on the Intel W480, W470, and probably Q470 chipsets. The processors additionally introduce Turbo Boost Max 3.Zero to this phase with choose GPUs. Thermal Velocity Boost is obtainable on solely the highest SKU.

The lineup is led by the 10-core/20-thread Xeon W-1290P, clocked at 3.70 GHz, with 5.20 GHz max increase frequency, and 20 MB of L3 cache. This SKU additionally options 5.30 GHz TVB and 4.90 GHz all-core TVB. This is adopted carefully by the Xeon W-1270P, an 8-core/16-thread half with 3.80 GHz nominal and 5.10 GHz increase frequency, and 16 MB of L3 cache. The W-1250P 6-core/12-thread chip is subsequent in line, with its 4.10 GHz nominal, 4.50 GHz increase, and 12 MB L3 cache. All P-extension SKUs function typically excessive clock speeds, and 125 W TDP. Positioned proper under these are the non-P SKUs, with their 80 W TDP, and decrease clock-speeds.

The W-1290 10-core half ticks at 3.20 GHz with 5.10 GHz TBM3 clocks, and 5.20 GHz TVB. The W-1270 does 3.40 GHz with 5.00 GHz TBM3, and 4.70 GHz all-core Turbo. The W-1250 affords 3.30 GHz nominal, and 4.40 GHz all-core increase. There’s additionally the super-efficiency W-1290T 10-core/20-thread half, with 1.90 GHz nominal, 4.70 GHz Turbo Boost Max 3.0, no TVB, and three.80 GHz all-core Turbo, with a stellar 35 W TDP. The processors on this collection put out 16 PCI-Express gen 3.Zero lanes for PEG; whereas pairing them with the W480 chipset yields 40 whole platform PCIe gen 3.Zero lanes. We are awaiting pricing particulars.
