The Xeon W-2145 3.7 GHz Eight-Core FCLGA 2066 Processor from Intel is designed to handle robust workloads with its integrated Intel Turbo Boost 2.0, which provides a maximum turbo frequency of 4.5 GHz. Furthermore, the Xeon W-2145 incorporates Intel Hyper-Threading technology and features eight cores with sixteen threads in an FCLGA 2066 socket and has 11 MB of Cache memory. Having multiple cores allows the Xeon W-2145 to run different programs simultaneously without slowing down the system, while having numerous threads allow a basic ordered sequence of instructions to be passed through or processed by a single CPU core.
The Xeon W-2145 also supports up to 512GB of DDR4-1600/1866/2133/2400/2666 RAM and has a maximum of forty-eight PCIe lanes, which support PCIe Revision 3.0. Moreover, this processor features AES New Instructions, AVX 2.0 Instruction Set Extensions, and 14nm semiconductor technology. Graphically, the Xeon W-2145 3.7 GHz Eight-Core FCLGA 2066 Processor does not provide an integrated graphics controller, meaning you will need to purchase a dedicated graphics card to tailor your viewing experience. Aside from graphics, the Xeon W-2145 has an average thermal design power requirement of 140W. Additional features meant to protect enterprise and data-sensitive environments include Intel's vPro, Trusted Execution, OS Guard, and various other Intel-based technologies.
Intel AES New Instructions
Intel AES New Instructions (Intel AES-NI) are a set of instructions that enable fast and secure data encryption and decryption. AES-NI are valuable for a wide range of cryptographic applications, for example: applications that perform bulk encryption/decryption, authentication, random number generation, and authenticated encryption.
Intel Demand Based Switching
Intel Demand Based Switching is a power-management technology in which the applied voltage and clock speed of a microprocessor are kept at the minimum necessary levels until more processing power is required. This technology was introduced as Intel SpeedStep Technology in the server marketplace.
Intel Hyper-Threading Technology
Intel Hyper-Threading Technology (Intel HT Technology) delivers two processing threads per physical core. Highly threaded applications can get more work done in parallel, completing tasks sooner.
Intel Identity Protection Technology
Intel Identity Protection Technology is a built-in security token technology that helps provide a simple, tamper-resistant method for protecting access to your online customer and business data from threats and fraud.

Intel IPT can be a key component in two-factor authentication solutions to protect your information at websites and business log-ins.
Intel TSX-NI
Intel Transactional Synchronization Extensions New Instructions (Intel TSX-NI) are a set of instructions focused on multi-threaded performance scaling. This technology helps make parallel operations more efficient via improved control of locks in software.
Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0
Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 dynamically increases the processor's frequency as needed by taking advantage of thermal and power headroom to give you a burst of speed when you need it and increased energy efficiency when you don't.
Intel Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (VT-d)
Intel Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (VT-d) continues from the existing support for IA-32 (VT-x) and Itanium processor (VT-i) virtualization adding new support for I/O-device virtualization. Intel VT-d can help end users improve security and reliability of the systems and also improve performance of I/O devices in virtualized environments.
Intel vPro Technology
Intel vPro Technology is a set of security and manageability capabilities built into the processor aimed at addressing four critical areas of IT security:
- Threat management, including protection from rootkits, viruses, and malware
- Identity and web site access point protection
- Confidential personal and business data protection
- Remote and local monitoring, remediation, and repair of PCs and workstations
Intel VT-x with Extended Page Tables (EPT)
Intel VT-x with Extended Page Tables (EPT), also known as Second Level Address Translation (SLAT), provides acceleration for memory intensive virtualized applications. Extended Page Tables in Intel Virtualization Technology platforms reduces the memory and power overhead costs and increases battery life through hardware optimization of page table management.
Intel 64
Intel 64 architecture delivers 64-bit computing on server, workstation, desktop, and mobile platforms when combined with supporting software. Intel 64 architecture improves performance by allowing systems to address more than 4GB of both virtual and physical memory.
64-Bit Instruction Set
An instruction set refers to the basic set of commands and instructions that a microprocessor understands and can carry out. The value shown represents which Intel's instruction set this processor is compatible with.
AVX 2.0 Instruction Set Extensions
Instruction Set Extensions are additional instructions which can increase performance when the same operations are performed on multiple data objects. These can include SSE (Streaming SIMD Extensions) and AVX (Advanced Vector Extensions).
Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology
Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology is an advanced means of enabling high performance while meeting the power-conservation needs of mobile systems. Conventional Intel SpeedStep Technology switches both voltage and frequency in tandem between high and low levels in response to processor load. Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology builds upon that architecture using design strategies such as Separation between Voltage and Frequency Changes and Clock Partitioning and Recovery.
Execute Disable Bit
Execute Disable Bit is a hardware-based security feature that can reduce exposure to viruses and malicious-code attacks and prevent harmful software from executing and propagating on the server or network.
Idle States
Idle States (C-states) are used to save power when the processor is idle. C0 is the operational state, meaning that the CPU is doing useful work. C1 is the first idle state, C2 the second, and so on, where more power saving actions are taken for numerically higher C-states.
Secure Key
Intel Secure Key consists of a digital random number generator that creates truly random numbers to strengthen encryption algorithms.
Thermal Monitoring Technologies
Thermal Monitoring Technologies protect the processor package and the system from thermal failure through several thermal management features. An on-die Digital Thermal Sensor (DTS) detects the core's temperature, and the thermal management features reduce package power consumption and thereby temperature when required in order to remain within normal operating limits.
Trusted Execution Technology
Intel Trusted Execution Technology for safer computing is a versatile set of hardware extensions to Intel processors and chipsets that enhance the digital office platform with security capabilities such as measured launch and protected execution. It enables an environment where applications can run within their own space, protected from all other software on the system.
