About the Intel Xeon W-2145 CPU
The Intel Xeon W-2145 is an end-of-life 8-core (16-thread) processor built for the workstation CPU market. It launched in Q3 2017 with a suggested retail price of $1,113. It is part of Intel's Xeon W lineup, which is based on the Skylake-W microarchitecture. The W-2145 is compatible with Intel Socket 2066 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 14 nm manufacturing process.
Memory and Cache
The Xeon W-2145 supports DDR4 memory and features a quad-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 4 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Xeon W-2145 has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 64 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 1 MB, is larger but slower than the L1. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 11 MB.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The Xeon W-2145 features 8 total cores which can process 16 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 3.7 GHz, and it can boost up to 4.5 GHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is locked, making it incapable of overclocking for pushing performance further.
Integrated Graphics
