Intel Xeon W5-2555X 14 Cores 28 Threads 4.8GHz E (LGA 4677) BX807132555X Workstation CPU

High-Performance Workstation CPU Platform featuring Sapphire Rapids compute efficiency with the Intel Xeon W5-2555X

The Intel Xeon W5-2555X (SKU BX807132555X) is a 2nd Gen Xeon Workstation processor for LGA4677 systems built on the Sapphire Rapids platform, targeting engineering workstations and compact compute nodes that need deterministic CPU throughput with enterprise-grade controls. With 14C/28T, 3.3GHz base and up to 4.8GHz turbo, the Intel Xeon W5-2555X provides balanced frequency and core density for interactive CAD/EDA, content pipelines, and multi-VM lab hosts without relying on unstable boost behavior.

On W790 platforms, the Intel Xeon W5-2555X supports DDR5-4800 ECC memory and up to 2TB capacity, enabling high-memory footprints for simulation datasets, large assemblies, and in-memory analytics while maintaining error correction for long-running workloads. PCIe 4.0 connectivity aligns well with modern GPU, high-speed NIC, and NVMe storage architectures, allowing engineers to build predictable expansion topologies and avoid oversubscription. Instruction acceleration through AVX-512 and AMX further optimizes vectorized analytics and AI-adjacent preprocessing paths that remain CPU-bound.

Why Choose the Intel Xeon W5-2555X?

The Intel Xeon W5-2555X is engineered for deployments where workstation-class responsiveness must coexist with data center discipline: ECC memory support, strong security primitives, and virtualization features enable scalable configurations from a single-seat CAD tower to a small virtualization lab host. Its performance-per-socket profile suits dense workstation fleets and standardized images, while the platform’s expansion and memory headroom provide a clear growth path as GPU, storage, or NIC requirements increase.

Intel designs the Xeon workstation portfolio around validated platform compatibility, predictable lifecycle management, and security-first architecture, aligning with modern enterprise requirements for trusted boot, memory protection, and manageable endpoints across distributed engineering environments.
