Intel Xeon W-2123
The Xeon W-2123 is a 4 core CPU from Intel released in 2017. This chip has a good overall score with 3091 points in our CPU benchmark. Our gaming benchmark shows that this CPU is a very good processor for gaming, with a score of 5120 points. As for multitasking and heavy workloads, the Xeon W-2123 scores 2483 points and 2382 points respectively. Indeed, this is an average rating for very heavy workloads.
The Xeon W-2123 has 4 cores and 8 threads. This CPU makes use of simultaneous multithreading technology to improve performance on parallel tasks. Each physical CPU core is divided into multiple logical processors. This Intel CPU has a clock speed of 3.6 GHz and a turbo speed of 3.9 GHz : a higher clock speed that can be reached when thermals and power delivery allow.
As for memory, the Xeon W-2123 makes use of DDR4-1600 memory. The faster the memory, the better. Faster memory means that the CPU doesn't have to wait to get the data it needs. It can accommodate a maximum of 512 GiB of memory. Furthermore, this chip can handle up to 4 channels of RAM, a multichannel memory architecture allows for higher data transfer between the CPU and the memory. However, to take advantage of this, you must have enough memory slots filled. Error correcting memory is supported on this processor.
This CPU has fast connectivity with support for PCI-Express Gen 3. The faster the PCIe link, the better. This allows for better performance with GPUs and NVME SSDs. It has a total of 48 PCIe lanes.
Power and thermals for the Intel Xeon W-2123 CPU are a TDP (Thermal Design Power) of 120 watts. This measures the amount of heat the processor produces when running at full load. This isn't a measure of power consumption, but it's a good estimate.
