The specific chip relies entirely on its Golden Cove cores which total 24 along with 48 threads. The CPU should have a base clock of 2.5 GHz and a boost clock of up to 4.8 GHz. The CPU will also incorporate 67.5 MB of L3 cache and an 8-channel IMC. TDP is expected to be rated at 270W.

Those are some decent specifications and the chip was tested within the V-Ray 5 benchmark. The Intel Xeon W7-3455 "Sapphire Rapids" workstation CPU scored 26,175 points. The score looks a bit underwhelming compared to AMD's Threadripper PRO 5965WX which has the same 24 cores and 48 threads (Zen 3 architecture) but is able to score 30,700 points or 17% higher performance. This makes me think that the Xeon chip might be an early sample considering it even loses to the Core i9-13900K which is able to score 28,907 points.
