Update - 1/31/24 1:50 p.m. ET: An earlier version of this story incorrectly stated that the W9-3495X had 58 cores. The story has been updated to reflect that the W9-3495X has 56 cores, not 58.
Rumors of a W-3500 series HEDT refresh are apparently legitimate. A new Geekbench 6 listing was spotted by Benchleaks on X (formerly Twitter), featuring benchmark results of a mysterious new Xeon HEDT part: the Xeon W9-3595X (with 60 cores). The new chip is, however, slower than its predecessor, the W9-3495X (with 56 cores) in both single- and multi-core benchmarks — but at least now we know that a potential W-3500 Fishhawk Falls refresh is on the horizon.
