Title: Intel® Xeon® w5-2545 — 12-Core Workstation CPU (LGA4677, 3.5 GHz Base, 4.7 GHz Turbo, 30 MB Cache)
Short Excerpt: 12 P-cores / 24 threads, 3.5–4.7 GHz, 30 MB Smart Cache, 210 W base / 252 W max turbo power. Built for modern W790 workstations with DDR5 ECC RDIMM and PCIe 5.0 I/O.
Overview:
The Intel® Xeon® w5-2545 is a balanced, pro-grade CPU for creators and engineers who need strong per-core speed with reliable multi-thread throughput. With 12 Performance-cores (no E-cores) and up to 4.7 GHz turbo, it chews through CAD/CAE solves, media encodes, code builds, and multi-app workflows while maintaining workstation-class stability and manageability. Pair it with an LGA4677/W790 board to unlock DDR5 ECC RDIMM memory and PCIe 5.0 lanes for next-gen GPUs, 100GbE/IB NICs, and NVMe storage.
Key Specs (Fact-Checked):
Cores / Threads: 12 P-cores / 24 threads
Base / Max Turbo: 3.5 GHz base / 4.7 GHz max turbo
Intel® Turbo Boost Max 3.0: up to 4.7 GHz
Smart Cache: 30 MB
Base Power (Processor Base Power): 210 W
Maximum Turbo Power: 252 W
Socket / Platform: LGA4677, single-socket workstations (W790 chipset)
Memory: DDR5 ECC RDIMM support (Xeon W-series platform), quad-channel on W-2400 class CPUs
PCIe: CPU exposes PCIe 5.0 lanes (64 on W-2400 platform; board-dependent availability)
UPI Links: 0 (single-socket only)
Workstation Benefits:
Strong single-thread: 4.7 GHz boosts speed up interactive CAD, EDA, and viewport work.
Consistent multi-thread: 12 P-cores handle compiles, renders, and batch processing without hiccups.
Next-gen I/O: PCIe 5.0 for high-end GPUs, frame grabbers, and 100G networking; DDR5 ECC RDIMM for large, reliable memory footprints.
Platform stability: Xeon W feature set and ECC memory for error-resilient, 24/7 operation.
Compatibility Notes:
Requires an LGA4677 motherboard (e.g., W790 workstation boards).
Designed for single-socket systems (no UPI multi-socket support).
Actual memory speeds, lane splits, and device support depend on the motherboard.
