Intel Xeon W-1250 server processor BX80701W1250

SKU CH-MG06-MMZS8 MPN BX80701W1250

Six-core Xeon processor with 12 threads, 3.3 GHz base clock, 4.7 GHz turbo and 12 MB cache for single-socket workstations

  • Product nameXeon W-1250
  • CPU coresSix-Core
  • CPU socketLGA 1200
  • Maximum turbo clock4.7 GHz
  • TDP rating80 W
  • Processor codenameComet Lake
  • 6 cores and 12 threads handle parallel workloads efficiently
  • Base frequency of 3.3 GHz with turbo up to 4.7 GHz for responsive performance
  • 12 MB Intel Smart Cache reduces latency for frequent data access
  • Supports up to 128 GB of DDR4 2666 memory in dual-channel mode
  • 80 W TDP fits standard server cooling solutions

Workstation CPU for single-socket builds

The Intel Xeon W-1250 targets workstations that need six cores and twelve threads in an LGA 1200 package. It suits engineers, content creators and small-business servers that run CAD, simulation or virtualisation workloads on a single processor. Buyers who need multi-socket scaling or more than twelve threads should look elsewhere.

Sustained-load behaviour

With an 80 W thermal design power the chip maintains its 3.3 GHz base frequency across long rendering or compile jobs when paired with adequate cooling. Turbo lifts to 4.7 GHz for shorter bursts, but the 14 nm process keeps power draw predictable during extended runs. Cooling hardware is not included.

128 GB DDR4 ceiling

Dual-channel DDR4 2666 support caps system memory at 128 GB, which decides whether this processor fits a given workload. Sixteen PCI Express 3.0 lanes handle GPU and storage add-in cards. Systems requiring more memory bandwidth or PCIe 4.0 will need a different platform.

Questions about this item

How much heat does the 80 W TDP Xeon W-1250 produce when running all day?

The processor has an 80 W thermal design power, so sustained full-load operation will dissipate up to 80 watts of heat that your cooler must handle.

What socket and memory must I already have for the Xeon W-1250 to work?

You need a motherboard with an LGA 1200 socket and DDR4 memory running at 2666 MT/s; the CPU supports up to 128 GB in dual-channel mode.

Will the Xeon W-1250’s 16 PCIe 3.0 lanes bottleneck an older PCIe 3.0 GPU I plan to keep?

The CPU provides 16 lanes of PCIe 3.0, matching the bandwidth of your existing PCIe 3.0 graphics card, so no bottleneck is introduced.
