Intel has revealed the full Cascade Lake 3000-series Xeon W lineup for workstations. The announcement comes as Apple plans to employ the new processors in the company's renewed Mac Pro.

A simple look at the Cascade Lake W product stack shows that Intel has doubled the cores and cache on the new chips. Intel's decision is probably the result of the constant attacks from AMD's core-heavy Ryzen Threadripper processors. The increased core count comes at a cost, though. In comparison to Skylake W, Cascade Lake W's TDP (thermal design power) has increased significantly between 33 percent to 46 percent. It's worth mentioning that Intel has implemented its Turbo Boost Max 3.0 technology with Cascade Lake W.

While prior entry-level Skylake W parts started at four cores, Cascade Lake W arrives with eight cores as a minimum. Sadly, Intel didn't give the previous flagship Xeon W-2195 18-core processor the same treatment. The chipmaker stopped at 28 cores for this generation's flagship model.
