Intel Xeon W-2245 vs Intel Xeon W-3225: comparison

Comparison of Intel Xeon W-2245 and Intel Xeon W-3225: key differences and a full specification table.

Key differences

Intel Xeon W-2245 has a higher base clock (3.9 GHz vs 3.7 GHz), a higher maximum clock (4.5 GHz vs 4.3 GHz) and a lower TDP (155 W vs 160 W).

At the same time, Intel Xeon W-3225 has more memory channels (6 vs 4).

Both processors match on: core count (8), thread count (16), process node (14 nm), maximum memory size (1 TB), PCIe version (3).

These are specification values: they show differences between the models but do not determine a performance winner. For a specific workload, rely on independent benchmarks.
