Intel CD8069504393400 Xeon W-2265 3.50 GHz 12-core desktop processor

Intel Xeon W-2265 12-core desktop processor

The Intel Xeon W-2265 is a dodeca-core desktop processor built on 14 nm process technology. It operates at a base clock speed of 3.50 GHz with an overclocking speed up to 4.60 GHz. The CPU provides 24 threads for parallel workloads and includes 12 MB of L2 cache alongside 19.25 MB of L3 cache.

Suited for multi-threaded workstations not

This processor targets professional workstations that benefit from 12 cores and 24 threads for rendering, simulation or compilation tasks. Its Xeon classification indicates support for ECC memory and platform stability features valued in production environments. Users building primarily for gaming or lightly threaded applications should consider mainstream desktop alternatives instead.

Verify LGA-2066 motherboard and cooling clearance

The chip requires a Socket R4 LGA-2066 motherboard with a compatible chipset and BIOS revision for the Xeon W series. Confirm that your chosen cooler is rated for the thermal output of a 12-core part and that physical clearance around the socket meets the cooler's mounting requirements. Ensure the power delivery subsystem on the board can sustain the processor under sustained all-core loads.
