Intel has published new “ Granite Rapids-WS ” turbo-frequency tables for its Xeon 600 workstation lineup, splitting expected boost behavior by instruction set. The tables cover non-AVX (SSE), AVX2, AVX-512, and AMX , and they map clock targets against active core count.

Xeon 600 for workstation is Intel’s current single-socket workstation platform on the W890 chipset. Intel lists up to 86 Performance-cores and 128 PCIe 5.0 lanes, plus AMX support in every core. The platform also supports DDR5 RDIMMs up to 6400 MT/s and MRDIMMs up to 8000 MT/s, with up to 4 TB of memory capacity on the 8-channel SKUs.

Intel’s workstation stack spans 11 SKUs, from the 86-core Xeon 698X down to 12-core parts. The “X” models (698X, 696X, 678X, 676X, 674X, 658X) are unlocked, with base power ratings from 250 W to 350 W, while the non-X models scale down to 80 PCIe lanes and 4 memory channels on the 16-core and below tier. Intel’s own materials list pricing from $499 (Xeon 634) up to $7,699 (Xeon 698X).

Intel’s new tables show how far clocks can move when wide vector or matrix paths are active. Using the Xeon 698X as an example, the non-AVX table shows up to 4.8 GHz on favored cores, but a much lower all-core level at full 86-core load. The AVX2, AVX-512, and AMX tables step that down again, with AMX showing the lowest sustained all-core boost targets in Intel’s published chart.

Intel also notes these are expected frequencies and that real clocks can still vary with platform power limits, cooling, and other system factors.

Intel says Xeon 600 processors for workstation will be available through OEM and system integrator partners, plus boxed retail processors, starting in late March 2026. Intel also lists the boxed SKUs as Xeon 696X, 678X, 676X, 658X, and Xeon 654.
