#BEST KEYSHOT 7 RENDER SETTINGS PRO#
In contrast, there are only six “Zen 3” Ryzen Threadripper Pro 5000 WX-Series models, sporting 12, 16, 24, 32 or 64 cores. Intel has a much wider workstation-focused product range than AMD, with a total of fifteen models across its Intel Xeon W-2400 and W-3400 series (see charts below). This is in contrast to traditional monolithic designs, where all cores are on a single chip, making it more prone to manufacturing defects, and therefore lower yields and higher cost. Like Threadripper Pro, ‘Sapphire Rapids’ processors feature a ‘chiplet’ design where several smaller chips are packaged together as one.
It also follows AMD in terms of architecture. Not surprisingly, Intel has followed a similar tack for its new ‘Sapphire Rapids’ workstation processors - up to 56-cores, up to 4.8 GHz turbo and 8-channel DDR5 memory. With Threadripper Pro, AMD delivered the holy grail of workstation processors, combining vast numbers of cores (up to 64) with high turbo frequencies and high-memory bandwidth to deliver impressive performance wherever your workflows may take you - single threaded CAD, multi-threaded rendering, or memory intensive simulation, Threadripper Pro can handle pretty much anything you throw at it. The chip giant certainly has its work cut out here. Over 40 pages of dedicated workstation reviews, features and coverage. Intel desperately needs its new ‘Sapphire Rapids’ Xeon processors - specifically the Intel Xeon W-2400 and W-3400 - to be a success. But, the overwhelming success of AMD Ryzen Threadripper Pro, coupled with Intel’s failure to launch a true workstation-class processor since 2019, has led us to this precise situation. Ten years ago, it would have been unthinkable that Intel today would be playing catchup with AMD in workstation processors.
Intel has launched its long awaited ‘Sapphire Rapids’ workstation processors, but do they have enough to surpass AMD’s Ryzen Threadripper Pro? Greg Corke puts these high-end CPUs through their paces
