Intel · Xeon W · 2017 · LGA2066
The Intel Xeon W-2133 is a desktop processor with 6 cores, released in 2017 at an MSRP of $617. It is part of the Xeon W lineup, using the Xeon W platform, and fits the LGA2066 socket. Internally, it is built on the "Skylake-W" architecture. Thanks to Intel Hyper-Threading, each core can handle two instruction streams simultaneously, yielding a total of 12 threads for improved parallelism. The Xeon W-2133 has a base clock of 3.6 GHz and can boost up to 3.9 GHz depending on workload and thermal headroom. Intel manufactures the "Skylake-W" silicon on a 14nm process node. Its multiplier is locked, so any overclocking has to come from raising the base clock rather than the multiplier. This processor supports DDR4 memory. With a TDP of 140W, the Xeon W-2133 sits in a typical power envelope for a modern desktop CPU. This processor has no integrated graphics — a discrete GPU is required. The cache hierarchy consists of no dedicated of L1, no dedicated of L2, and 8.25MB of L3 cache.
Skylake-W workstation chip on the LGA2066 platform. Compares directly against contemporary Threadripper on core count and memory bandwidth.
