For you to fully understand the Intel Xeon, you should think of it as pro speed and pro performance on pro servers. That is one way to describe them at Zumiv.
It is the highest SKU (Store Keeping Unit), with 10 cores and 20 threads. It purports to provide a 25% increase in core and thread performance over the preceding version. Let’s discuss this amazing CPU’s performance, memory specifications, processor graphics, security, core counts, etc.
Overview
The Intel Xeon W line serves as the Intel Core series’ “Workstation” or “W” equivalent. In light of this, the Intel Xeon W-1290P SKU is designed for professional workstations instead of enthusiast PCs. The Intel Xeon W-1290P, the upgrade for the Intel Xeon E-2288G and Intel Xeon W Series, features 10 cores and 20 threads with a higher clock speed of 3.70GHz and a turbo boost speed of 5.20GHz. It has a 125W TDP, 20MB of onboard cache, and supports up to 128GB of RAM in a 4x32GB configuration.
PRO Performance
For entry-level workstation users, the Intel Xeon W-1290P processor offers excellent performance with integrated processor graphics, enhanced security, and a guarantee of ECC memory. With the Xeon W-1290P, you enjoy exceptional performances, best-in-class operational capabilities, and compatibility with innovative technologies that allow you to visualize, model, conduct research, and work with better accuracy.
Data Integrity, Reliability, and System Up-time (PRO SPEED)
Some of the factors many workstation users consider for business are data integrity and system up-time. As a result, the Intel Xeon W-1290 processors provide Intel vPro™ manageability and compatibility for fast ECC memory, which can protect valuable data against unpredictable soft-memory bit errors and enable simple system management for IT teams. Error-correcting code (ECC) memory is a technology that improves reliability by instantly identifying and fixing single-bit memory mistakes.
Reduced Wait Time
Visualization and simulation modeling can be completed rapidly and precisely with up to 10 cores, 20 threads, and 128 GB of ECC DDR4 memory using the Intel Xeon W-1290 processor for increased performance.
Expanded Platform Capabilities
The Intel Xeon W-1290 CPUs provide outstanding I/O throughput for graphics, networking, and storage with up to 40 platform PCIe 3.0 lanes. The processor allows you to run multiple graphics cards, accelerators, capture cards, storage devices, and/or network controllers.
