Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### How many cores and threads does the Intel Xeon 678X Granite Rapids WS have? The Intel Xeon 678X Granite Rapids WS processor has 48 cores and, with Hyper Threading enabled, a total of 96 threads. It carries a 300 Watt TDP and was tested in an HP Z4 G6i workstation running Fedora Workstation 44. _Workstation buyers comparing Xeon core counts and TDP can track hardware benchmarks like this on daily.dev._ ### Does Intel still support Hyper Threading on Xeon workstation processors? Yes, Hyper Threading (HT/SMT) remains supported on the Intel Xeon 600 series workstation processors, including the Xeon 678X Granite Rapids WS, unlike the current generation Core Ultra desktop processors where it has been dropped. This makes SMT on/off comparisons still relevant for Xeon-based workstations. _Anyone weighing Xeon versus Core Ultra for workstation builds can follow CPU feature comparisons on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Intel Granite Rapids WS Core Scaling Performance With The Xeon 678X](https://daily.dev/posts/intel-granite-rapids-ws-core-scaling-performance-with-the-xeon-678x-tbkjrchee) · Phoronix · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Intel Granite Rapids WS vs. AMD Threadripper Zen 5 SMT Performance](https://daily.dev/posts/intel-granite-rapids-ws-vs-amd-threadripper-zen-5-smt-performance-uj17tctom) · Phoronix · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Intel Xeon 600 Workstation Performance vs. AMD Threadripper 9000 In Nearly 400 Benchmarks](https://daily.dev/posts/intel-xeon-600-workstation-performance-vs-amd-threadripper-9000-in-nearly-400-benchmarks-i3kt4rtyr) · Phoronix · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Intel Xeon 6 Performance Feature Benchmarks: Latency Optimized Mode Review](https://daily.dev/posts/intel-xeon-6-performance-feature-benchmarks-latency-optimized-mode-review-y96iydwzr) · Phoronix · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Intel AMX Performance With The Xeon 678X Workstation CPU](https://daily.dev/posts/intel-amx-performance-with-the-xeon-678x-workstation-cpu-987e0vcnq) · Phoronix · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#linux](https://daily.dev/tags/linux), [#fedora](https://daily.dev/tags/fedora) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/intel-hyper-threading-performance-on-the-xeon-678x-granite-rapids-ws--yskt52ya6) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Intel Hyper Threading Performance On The Xeon 678X \"Granite Rapids-WS\"","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/intel-hyper-threading-performance-on-the-xeon-678x-granite-rapids-ws--yskt52ya6","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/intel-hyper-threading-performance-on-the-xeon-678x-granite-rapids-ws--yskt52ya6"},"datePublished":"2026-08-20T14:30:58.249Z","dateModified":"2026-08-20T14:39:48.846Z","description":"Benchmarks compare performance with Hyper Threading enabled versus disabled on the Intel Xeon 678X ","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/9d0fb05bb9bb7cae9638a06458ceac49?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/9d0fb05bb9bb7cae9638a06458ceac49?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"Phoronix","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Phoronix","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/t_logo,f_auto/v1/logos/6a26ba379dd64932830aa0c9803dd7ee","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/phoronix"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/intel-hyper-threading-performance-on-the-xeon-678x-granite-rapids-ws--yskt52ya6","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"linux,fedora","timeRequired":"PT2M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Phoronix","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/phoronix"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Intel Hyper Threading Performance On The Xeon 678X \"Granite Rapids-WS\""}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/intel-hyper-threading-performance-on-the-xeon-678x-granite-rapids-ws--yskt52ya6#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"How many cores and threads does the Intel Xeon 678X Granite Rapids WS have?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"The Intel Xeon 678X Granite Rapids WS processor has 48 cores and, with Hyper Threading enabled, a total of 96 threads.
