Intel Xeon processors are enterprise-class x86-64 microprocessors manufactured by Intel Corporation, designed specifically for workstation and server applications.

Used exclusively in the iMac Pro line from 2017-2021, these processors brought professional-grade computing power to Apple’s all-in-one desktop. The iMac Pro featured Intel Xeon W-series processors with up to 18 cores and 36 threads, built on 14nm process technology. Key features include support for ECC (Error-Correcting Code) memory for enhanced reliability, larger cache sizes (up to 24.75MB), higher memory bandwidth, AVX-512 vector processing instructions, and Turbo Boost technology.

These workstation-class processors delivered exceptional performance for demanding professional workflows including 3D rendering, video editing, scientific computing, and software development, making the iMac Pro the most powerful iMac ever produced.
