Intel Xeon W-3223 vs Intel Xeon W-3225: comparison

Comparison of Intel Xeon W-3223 and Intel Xeon W-3225: key differences and a full specification table.

Key differences

Intel Xeon W-3225 has a higher base clock (3.7 GHz vs 3.5 GHz) and a higher maximum clock (4.3 GHz vs 4 GHz).

Both processors match on: core count (8), thread count (16), TDP (160 W), process node (14 nm), maximum memory size (1 TB), memory channels (6), 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.
