According to AnandTech, there are founded rumors that the new Intel Xeon W-3175X processor could have a starting price of up to $ 8, 000. At the gates of CES 2019 that begins this same January 8, the news and rumors are swift, and this time they come from an AnandTech, with information that they themselves have obtained from sources from the silicon company.

The range of prices that are shuffled are between $ 4000 and $ 8000

Well, that's right, nothing less than a range of up to $ 4, 000 is what we have made clear from this information. The new flagship processor of the blue brand, the Intel Xeon W-3175X is ready to once again take the top position in the range of Worstation processors and desktops.

The Intel Xeon W3175X is a beast with no fewer than 28 cores and 56 processing threads built into a single silicon. With a capacity of 38.5 MB of L3 cache, 3.1 GHz base frequency and 4.3 GHz turbo Boost 3.0 it comes direct to unseat the all-powerful AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX. But the specifications do not stop here only, this new processor has support for DDR4 memory of up to 6 channels and 512 GB of memory and 68 tracks of PCIe (44 CPU and 24 PCH). That is, on paper, it should effectively outperform AMD.

In what will undoubtedly overcome it is in price. Currently we have that the AMD is at a cost of about 1800 euros, and according to the information of the guys from AnandTech, sources from Intel itself, they assure that the approximate cost of this Intel Xeon W-3175X will be around a whopping 8000 dollars, this It doubles the expectations and rumors that have been considered so far that the cost was going to be around $ 4000.

How do you plan to compete with AMD Ryzen?

Well friends, they will know. This new Intel processor will obviously need new motherboards that are up to the task, especially with major manufacturers such as Asus with its RUS Dominus Extreme or Gigabyte. We will need support for huge amounts of RAM and PCIe slots for top of the range graphics cards.

But let's get into what interests us, how do Intel plan to compete with its new Xeon CPU with a price that triples the current AMD Ryzen 2990WX? Well if the accounts do not fail we will be before the most powerful processor ever created, and which will outperform the AMD by a wide margin. In this way they will only have their other creations as direct rivals such as the 28-core Xeon Platinum. At least they will say that their competitor is not the AMD CPU.

The truth is that even if this is the case, it is a cost only available to a few in the world and, of course, large companies that exploit its performance. So the rest of us mortals have to wait to see what happens and "settle" with the small Threadripper for 1800 euros. Of course, as AMD will soon take out its top 7nm CPU, more than one from Intel will have a stroke. What do you think about this new Intel Xeon W-3175X, are you going to buy it as soon as it comes out XD?
