Performance Overview

The Xeon W9-3495X excels in multi-threaded tasks due to its 56 cores. However, its single-core performance is slightly behind Intel’s 12th and 13th generation Core series. For instance, in certain benchmarks, it lags behind Alder Lake CPUs at stock speeds, but overclocking can bring it closer to Raptor Lake performance levels.

In content creation workloads, users have observed about a 20% performance increase when switching to a high-performance power profile, aligning with improvements seen in previous Xeon generations.
