Intel is preparing to launch HEDT/workstation processors based on its "Sapphire Rapids-WS" MCM, and one of the first of these parts, the Xeon W9-3495X, surfaced on the Geekbench online database. The W9-3495X is a 56-core/112-thread processor with 56 "Golden Cove" P-cores, each with 2 MB of L2 cache, and sharing 105 MB of L3 cache in a mesh-topology layout. The processor likely features an 4-channel (8 sub-channel) DDR5 memory interface, with ECC; and supports up to 4 TB of memory. The PCI-Express Gen 5 lane counts remain unknown. Intel is expected to launch these processors along with companion W790 chipset motherboards, on February 15, 2023. This processor, running on a Supermicro-designed motherboard, and 128 GB of DDR5 memory, scored 1284 points in Geekbench 5, along with 36990 points multi-threaded.

This is actually pretty terrible isn't it ? A 16 core 7950X scores like 23000, a 64 core Zen 4 CPU would wipe the floor with it even if we assume terrible scaling. Well, for what that's worth, geekbench is and will always be a crappy benchmark.

Pretty sure firmware isn't finished and/or CPU is just ES and not clocking properly. Even lower clocked (~4.5GHz?) Golden Cove cores are well above 1500 single core.

I am sure the single core performance is going to be higher but the multicore probably is not gonna differ that much.

It's going to be challenging for this processor to be TR 7000 rival, as the title suggests.

That's assuming threadripper only goes up to 64 cores....we could see 72, 84, and 96 core Threadripper models as well...imagine what a 96 core Threadripper 7000 could do with a suped up motherboard made for overclocking and all cores running at 4.5+GHz...if the Epyc 9654 with 96 cores and an all core speed of 3.55Ghz is listed at 360 watts, then I would imagine a 96 core threadripper approaching or exceeding 5Ghz on all cores would be in the 600+ watt range.

Unlikely. If a 96C chip runs at 360W at 3.55GHz, it probably sucks 1000W+ at 5GHz, if it runs all-core at that speed at all (which i doubt). 96 is a lot of cores!

If they really get those score, that CPU is power limited a lot.

The good news is it will probably mean Threadripper 7xxxx will release sooner since AMD might have "some" competition.

IF AMD release a thread ripper equivalent on the same platform as the current EPYCs then would they would be invading some of the their F sku opportunties.

What they are going to have to do is to limit the scope of the chip (PCI-E Count, Memory channels etc) otherwise why would you buy an 9x74F chip vs one of the new threadrippers. I could see something like a 64 Lane, quad channel setup with say 48 cores with high clocks being possible but I am not sure if the I/O Die of the EPYCs would be up for Higher mem speeds needed.

Benchmark Scores I dont have time for that.

I was going to say, the comparisons themselves are a joke given the foundation.

This depends entirely on how much those hypothetical 7000 TR would cost. If they are the same price than their EPYC counterparts, all is good I guess. Maybe they call it Threadripper 9000 then, too?

If 8 Raptor Lake cores can pull 300 watts at 5.5 GHz, the power draw would be 2KW lol for 56 cores at the same frequency.

I would think they would use an army of efficiency cores in a product like this to go with a reasonable amount of performance cores.

If this is actually a 56-core CPU, it's terrible. If it's a 28-core (as suggested) it could be a really nice hit to AMD and Intel comeback to HEDT.
Unfortunately for Intel, the score pretty much aligns with the scale of what Genoa does - for 56 Genoa cores we'd expect 45000, but since Genoa cores seem to perform 15% better in single-core. about 37000 from a 56-core Xeon sound pretty much spot on.
I wouldn't put up my hopes of this being a 28-core. It's most probably what it says - a 56-core "whatever" CPU.
