"The Xeon 600 lineup spans the gamut between 12 and 86 performance cores (no cut-down efficiency cores here), with support for between four and eight channels of DDR5 and 80 to 128 lanes of PCIe 5.0 connectivity. Compared to its aging W-3500-series chips, Intel is claiming a 9 percent uplift in single threaded workloads and up to 61 percent higher performance in multithreaded jobs, thanks in no small part to an additional 22 processor cores this generation."
"The memory-heavy workstation processors, which are based on last year's Xeon 6700P series, arrive amid a supply chain crunch that has seen memory prices skyrocket. Even a modest kit of DDR5 RDIMMs (8x 32GB) will set you back more than $4,000. That's up from around $1,500 just six months ago. At the same time, extreme demand for Intel's datacenter class CPUs, which are commonly deployed in GPU servers, has seen the chipmaker deprioritize its desktop and mobile processors to free up foundry capacity."
Intel launched Xeon 600-series workstation processors with 12–86 performance cores, four to eight channels of DDR5, and 80–128 PCIe 5.0 lanes. The lineup targets both workstation and high-end desktop use cases, aiming to challenge AMD in the high-end segment. DDR5 RDIMM kit prices have surged, with an 8x32GB kit now exceeding $4,000 versus about $1,500 six months earlier, increasing system build costs. Datacenter demand for server CPUs has pushed foundry capacity toward GPU-server production, constraining desktop and mobile supply. Intel claims modest single-thread gains and substantial multithread improvements while keeping peak platform TDP at 350W.
