Intel Xeon W7-2595X 26-core 2.8 GHz server processor BX807132595X

Intel Xeon W7-2595X 26-core server processor

The Intel Xeon W7-2595X is a 26-core, 52-thread server CPU built on the Sapphire Rapids architecture. It operates at a 2.8 GHz base frequency and reaches a 4.8 GHz maximum turbo frequency with Intel Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0. The processor includes 48.75 MB of L3 cache and supports DDR5 4800 memory across four channels. It is designed for single-socket workstations handling rendering, simulation and virtualization workloads.

Compatibility checks for LGA 4677 platform

Verify that your motherboard uses the LGA 4677 socket and a chipset that supports this Xeon W series processor. Confirm the board provides DDR5 slots wired for quad-channel operation up to the 2 TB maximum capacity. Ensure the BIOS version listed by the board vendor includes support for the Sapphire Rapids core. The CPU offers 64 lanes of PCI Express 5.0; check that your required expansion cards and storage devices match the available lane allocation.

Thermals noise and power draw in normal use

The processor has a 250 W thermal design power and a 300 W maximum turbo power rating. A cooling solution rated for at least this thermal load must be sourced separately as none is included. Under sustained multi-core workloads the chip will draw power close to the turbo limit, so case airflow and cooler capacity should be planned accordingly. Acoustic output will depend entirely on the third-party cooler and fan curves selected by the builder.
