Intel Sapphire Rapids-Refresh Expert “112L” and Mainstream “64L” SKU and specs leak

The new Xeon series for workstations is expected to be revealed by Intel soon.



The specs of the Xeon W3500 and W2500 series have just been shared by @momomo_us, who was apparently able to find both lineups for Intel’s upcoming refresh of Sapphire Rapids models.

So, you can expect the W3500 series to have at least 4 extra cores and a beefed-up L3 cache compared to the W3400. The base and boost clock details might look a bit downgraded, but none of the models are likely to go beyond the 350W TDP of the previous series.

The top-tier SKU isn’t featured in this chart, but we’re already aware of the Xeon W9-3595X in the pipeline, boasting 60 cores. It’s set to become Intel’s first Xeon High-End Desktop (HEDT) SKU with such a core count. This SKU will feature the same TDP of 350W as W3495X, but this will come at a cost of lower base clock and turbo clock.

The W9-3975X is the second-best and the highest SKU mentioned by this leak. It is set to offer 44 cores, representing the highest upgrade over W3400 predecessor (W9-3475X) which had 36 cores.
