Reviews and Ratings

Reviewers Liked

  • High performance in lightly-threaded applications
  • Easily the fastest CPU for multi-threaded tasks today
  • Monolithic design and memory config
  • Fully unlocked

Reviewers Didn't Like

  • Expensive motherboard is required
  • Sky-high power consumption
  • Requires crazy expensive and crazy huge motherboards
  • Will require powerful cooling and top-end PSU when overclocking

Predictable results are a must in professional workloads, and the W-3175X delivers with a superior blend of performance in both lightly- and heavily-threaded applications. As with most of Intel’s high-end processors, you pay a hefty premium for the privilege of owning one. But the Xeon W-3175X offers an unbeatable experience in exchange.

Intel is clearly pushing the limits of its 14nm process with a beastly, 28-core behemoth like the Xeon W-3175X and it results in some real pitfalls (like its almost crazy-high power consumption), but as enthusiasts on the outside looking in, we’re kind of excited to see that Intel is being aggressive enough to pump out a product like this. After years of steady iteration in the CPU market, things have gotten much more competitive, and we look forward to seeing where it takes us through 2019 and beyond.

At $2999, it's not a hideous monstronsity that some worried it would be, but instead becomes a very believeable progression from the Core i9-9980XE. Just don’t ask about the rest of the system, as an OEM is probably looking at a $7k minimum build, or $10k end-user shelf price.

With a price of $3,000 and an actual demonstrable performance advantage in a lot of areas though, it’s actually a contender. It’s not a knock out by any means but for those who do want it all and don’t mind paying for it, it’s going to be really hard to find a faster CPU out today than the Xeon W-3175X.

For Premiere, the 3175X is hands-down impressive, and if we find budget, we may buy one for our own rendering machines. For gaming and Photoshop, the 9900K still makes more sense, with the 2700 obviously posting good performance in a different price class of CPU. The 3175X review remains difficult to conclude without knowing board prices and if it’ll ever come to consumers outside of the SI market, but our understanding is that some major retailers do intend to sell the chip standalone.

Esta es la solución de Intel, pero ya sea que funcione o no al precio dado es algo que hay que ver, ya que AMD todavía ofrece más núcleos e hilos, incluso el número de pistas PCIe de la CPU es mayor y el chip en sí mismo tendría la mitad del coste de lo que acabaría pagando por el procesador, por no hablar de la memoria y las placa base.
