The Xeon W3400X series excel at multi-threaded workloads, finally surpassing AMD Ryzen Threadripper in some of the longest standing world records. But records aside, Intel CPUs also have much higher TDP than consumer models, going as high as 350W with default TDP, and even higher when used for advance multi-threaded workloads.
As a reminder, the “X” series in the Sapphire Rapids-WS lineup are enabled for overclocking. Those CPUs are now used by known overclockers, such as Elmor or Der8auer who are occupied taking things to a next level. They are now using Xeon W9-3495X CPU, a flagship Sapphire Rapids SKU with 56 cores. The CPU was put on ASUS W790E-SAGE SE motherboard and equipped with G.SKILL Zeta R5 DDR5 memory designed for this platform.
