Intel® Xeon® W-2223 Processor, 8.25M Cache, 3.60 GHz, 4 Core, 8 Thread, Boxed, 3 Year Warranty

The Intel Xeon W‑2223 (SKU 90SKU000‑M85AN0) is a professional‑grade workstation/server CPU from Intel’s Xeon W family. It is designed for high‑reliability, high‑performance workloads such as 3D rendering, CAD, VFX, AI/ML inference workloads, and other compute‑intensive tasks. With 4 physical cores and 8 threads, a base clock of 3.60 GHz (boost up to 3.90 GHz), and 8.25 MB cache, this processor delivers strong per‑core performance, making it well suited for single‑thread‑heavy or lightly‑multi‑threaded workloads as well as balanced workloads that benefit from hyper‑threading. It supports ECC memory, up to 1 TB DDR4 at 2666 MHz, and provides robust I/O and expansion capabilities with 48 PCIe 3.0 lanes — making it ideal for workstation builds with multiple GPUs, NVMe storage drives, or other expansion cards. Its enterprise‑class reliability, broad instruction‑set support (including AVX‑512, Intel Deep Learning Boost), and workstation‑class socket (LGA2066) compatibility make it a strong choice for professional and creative workloads where stability, performance, and expandability matter.

Key Features

• High Single‑Core & Multi‑Threaded Performance

With a 3.60 GHz base clock and 3.90 GHz turbo, combined with 4 physical cores and 8 threads, the Xeon W‑2223 delivers excellent per‑core performance. This makes it especially suitable for workloads like CAD, 3D rendering, simulation, engineering tasks, and content creation — where high single‑core speed and moderate multi‑threading are important.

• Large Cache & Fast Memory Support for Demanding Workloads

The processor provides 8.25 MB of L3 cache and supports up to 1 TB DDR4‑2666 memory over 4 memory channels, with ECC support and a maximum memory bandwidth of ~85.3 GB/s. This large memory footprint and high bandwidth help when working with large data sets, heavy projects, virtualization, or memory‑intensive applications.

• Broad I/O & Expansion Capabilities for Workstation Builds

With 48 PCIe 3.0 lanes, this CPU offers plenty of expansion capacity — ideal for multi‑GPU rendering rigs, NVMe storage arrays, high‑throughput networking cards, or other PCIe‑based expansion needs. Its LGA2066 socket (FCLGA2066) ensures compatibility with a wide range of workstation‑class motherboards.

• Advanced Instruction Sets and Professional Features

The Xeon W‑2223 supports modern instruction sets including SSE4.2, AVX, AVX2, and AVX‑512, and includes Intel Deep Learning Boost (DL Boost) — which helps accelerate vectorized and AI/ML workloads. It also supports virtualization (VT‑x, VT‑d), 64‑bit architecture, and reliability/security features (AES‑NI, Execute Disable Bit, Intel Trusted Execution Technology, etc.), making it suitable for professional, secure, and heavy‑compute environments.

• Workstation‑Class Reliability & Flexibility

Designed for workstation or small server usage, the CPU supports ECC memory, large memory capacities, and is intended for 1‑socket (1S) configurations — offering a stable, reliable compute platform for creative professionals, engineers, or enterprise workloads.

Additional Use‑Case Strengths & Value Proposition

• Because of its high base/turbo speeds per core and hyper‑threading, the Xeon W‑2223 is very good for workloads that rely heavily on CPU single‑core performance — like CAD, 3D modeling, rendering, video editing, and other creative workloads.

• The large memory support (up to ~1 TB DDR4 ECC) and broad memory bandwidth make it suitable for memory‑heavy applications, large data sets, virtualization hosts, or multi‑tasking workstation environments.

• With 48 PCIe lanes and workstation‑class socket support, you have flexibility to build a powerful workstation with multiple GPUs, NVMe SSDs, high‑bandwidth network cards, or other expansion cards — useful for high‑performance content creation rigs, AI/ML training/inference boxes, rendering farms, etc.

• Enterprise/reliability features (ECC memory support, virtualization, security features, and workstation-grade design) make it suitable for professional and business‑critical tasks where stability and data integrity matter.
