After β the next update in the Intel processor series. The Xeon W family of server processors for workstations almost tripled in size overnight. More precisely, in two moments: a little earlier, the new Xeon W-3000 line appeared in the catalogs, and now we meet representatives of Cascade Lake in the line .
Despite the similarity of the indices, the two subgroups of the Xeon W family are very different, primarily in terms of usage models. Intel Xeon W-2200 processors are made in the same socket as Core X, have the same operating frequencies and TDP, as well as the same number of cores and memory channels. Differences from Core X: support for ECC memory, large amounts of memory, vPro, VROC technologies and some others - a clear nod towards the corporate segment. Actually, the line is positioned as HEDT for service needs, but the similarity here ends with the characteristics: the chipset for the Xeon W is used as a server chipset, and there is no compatibility on motherboards.

When studying the table, it immediately catches your eye that compared to the W-2100, the new processors are almost 50% cheaper - I think there is no point in explaining the reason for this.
As for the W-3200 processors, they are made in the Xeon Scalable socket - LGA3647, support a larger number of memory channels (6) and PCI Express lines (64). The number of cores and threads has been doubled compared to the corresponding W-2200 model, and the cache has been increased by approximately the same amount. The rest of the functionality of the junior and senior lines is similar.

But the price of the latter, as we see, has not been revised.
