The new Intel Xeon W processors are available with up to 18 cores. While they use the same R4 socket (LGA-2066) as the Intel Core™ X series, their feature set is significantly different, with the Xeon W processors offering not only much longer availability than the Core i7/i9-X models, but also supporting up to 512 GB of ECC RAM modules and providing 48 PCIe 3.0 lanes. It also offers 24 chipset PCIe 3.0 lanes, up to eight SATA Gen3 ports, ten USB 3.0 ports, up to 14 USB 2.0 ports and support for PCIe NVME SSDs.
With the D3598-B based on the new Intel C422 chipset, Fujitsu is offering an appropriate workstation mainboard. It has eight memory sockets for the four memory channels of the Xeon W processor. Its maximum of 48 PCIe lanes are spread over seven slots, two of which are implemented in the form of pure PCIe x16 (PEG) slots, enabling two graphic cards to be operated concurrently with a full 16 lanes each. For instance, the D3598-B is specifically recommended in conjunction with professional graphic cards for CPU- and GPU-intensive applications such as medical imaging, CAD/CAM workstations, video editing, animation and imaging workstations, flight and other simulators, and also gaming PCs.
The M.2 PCIe NVME slot also enables SSDs to be used for the operating system, and a wi-fi module can be used concurrently in the mPCIe slot. Fujitsu’s mPCIe-to-M.2 adapters also allow the use of M.2 wi-fi modules. To provide two additional M.2 interfaces, Fujitsu further offers the D3552-A2 expansion card.
