Intel Xeon W5-2465X 16-Core Server Processor
The Intel Xeon W5-2465X is a 16-core server processor with 32 threads built on the Sapphire Rapids architecture. It operates at a base frequency of 3.1 GHz and reaches a maximum turbo frequency of 4.70 GHz. This CPU targets workstations and servers handling video editing, rendering, and virtualisation workloads that benefit from high core counts and large cache.
Check LGA 4677 socket and DDR5 4800 memory support
Verify that your motherboard uses the LGA 4677 socket and a chipset compatible with the Xeon W series. The integrated memory controller runs DDR5 at 4800 MT/s across four channels with a maximum capacity of 2 TB. Ensure your power delivery and cooling solution can handle the processor base power of 200 W and maximum turbo power of 240 W.
Thermals noise and 240 W maximum turbo power
At base operation the processor draws 200 W, rising to 240 W under maximum turbo loads. Sustained all-core workloads will require a robust cooler rated for this thermal design power. Fan noise depends entirely on the cooler chosen; the CPU itself has no integrated fan. Adequate case airflow is essential to prevent thermal throttling during extended render or compute tasks.

Questions about this item
Does the BX807132465X retail box include a cooler or only the processor?
The BX807132465X is a tray or boxed server CPU; Intel does not bundle a heatsink with LGA 4677 Xeon W processors, so a compatible 240 W cooler must be purchased separately.
Should I choose the 16-core W5-2465X or a higher-core-count model for DDR5 4800 quad-channel work?
The W5-2465X provides 16 cores, 32 threads and 33.75 MB L3 cache; if your workload scales beyond 16 cores, select a model with more cores, otherwise this CPU fully supports DDR5 4800 quad-channel memory up to 2 TB.
What does the 4.70 GHz Max Turbo figure mean when the chip is installed in a workstation?
With adequate cooling, one or two cores can reach 4.70 GHz via Turbo Boost Max 3.0, while all-core turbo settles at 4.50 GHz; sustained clocks depend on the 240 W maximum turbo power limit and your cooling solution.
