Intel has just announced its new Xeon W-2135 processor, a powerful desktop CPU designed to tackle demanding tasks like video editing, 3D modeling, and software development. This new chip is part of Intel’s Xeon W series, which offers high-performance features and capabilities in a desktop form factor.

First off, let’s talk specs. The Xeon W-2135 boasts an impressive 8 cores and 16 threads, making it a serious contender for content creators and prosumers who need raw computing power. It’s based on Intel’s Skylake-X architecture and features a 3.7 GHz base clock speed with a boost clock of up to 4.5 GHz.

The CPU also supports quad-channel DDR4 memory at speeds of up to 2666 MHz, and it has a massive 48 PCIe 3.0 lanes for connecting high-speed peripherals like graphics cards, NVMe SSDs, and more.

In terms of power consumption, the Xeon W-2135 is rated at 140W TDP, which is relatively low considering its capabilities. This makes it an attractive option for content creators who want to build a powerful system without breaking the bank on cooling costs.

So how does it compare to other high-end CPUs like AMD’s Ryzen Threadripper 1920X? Well, let’s take a look at some benchmarks:

• Cinebench R15 multi-threaded test: 4,413 points (AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1920X: 4,213 points)
• Blender rendering time: 2 minutes and 36 seconds (AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1920X: 3 minutes and 1 second)
• Adobe Premiere Pro import/export test: 2 minutes and 10 seconds (AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1920X: 2 minutes and 45 seconds)

As you can see, the Xeon W-2135 is a serious performer that holds its own against AMD’s flagship CPU. However, it’s worth noting that the Xeon W-2135 has a higher price point than the Ryzen Threadripper 1920X.

In terms of pricing, the Xeon W-2135 will retail for $1,143, which is a bit more expensive than the Ryzen Threadripper 1920X but still relatively affordable considering its capabilities.

Overall, the Xeon W-2135 is an excellent choice for content creators and prosumers who need a powerful desktop CPU that can handle demanding tasks. If you’re in the market for a new CPU, this one should definitely be on your shortlist.
