Just a few hours in the past, we had been speaking about AMD’s domination of Intel’s Xeon chips, which is about to final for a couple of months… But the blues appear to be rushing up, and a leak about Intel’s subsequent Xeon Sierra Forest processors emerged at this time. We have data on two future Xeon chips: a 96-core processor and a 144-core processor. Both have a TDP of 350 W. In phrases of reminiscence, the 96-core model options 72 MB of L3, whereas the bigger 144-core model boosts L3 as much as 108 MB.
Sierra Forest is a part of Intel’s Fifth-generation Xeon household , and might be produced utilizing the Intel 3 course of. Its largest model will characteristic 144 Crestmont “E” cores . Intel’s purpose with these future processors is to regain the higher hand within the face of the rising variety of Arm processors within the cloud section. For AMD ,the Epyc Bergamo chipset would be the closest competitor.
Rumor has it {that a} joint platform from Sierra Forest and Granite Rapids (Birch Stream) will deal with these monsters. This platform will characteristic socket LGA 7529, the most important x86 server socket to this point. It seems that this socket could have a energy ceiling of 500 W.
