It is important to note that Xeon processors are specialized solutions for servers, workstations, artificial intelligence, and other applications that require high computing performance. It features a large number of cores and other advanced features.
All features revealed
These new Intel Xeon 6 processors bring significant changes such as new designs of cores and sockets. The new processors are divided into Granite Rapids P-Core and Sierra Forest E-Core. Additionally, this chip is divided into LGA 7592 and LGA 4710 sockets.
we first Xeon 6 6000P This is split into two ranges: Granite Rapids-AP and Granite Rapids-SP, which contain only P-Cores. the first will arrive Granny Trapes-AP It belongs to the Intel Platinum family, which is the best product offering from the company. The Xeon 6 6980P, 6979P, 6972P and 6960P were announced, which will have 72, 96, 120 and 128 cores, frequencies up to 3.8 GHz and TDPs up to 500 W. L3 cache data for these processors has not been released.
Then the processor should arrive. Granny Trapes-SP Currently we don’t know its name. These processors have 32, 44, and 56 cores with up to 288MB of L3 cache and up to 350W TDP.
It will also have up to 17 Sierra Forest processors, 16 of them in total. Sierra Forest-SP And there will only be one Sierra-Forest-AP. This processor belongs to the line Intel Xeon 6 6000E Only E-Core will be used. The leaked models have 64, 112, 128, and 144 cores and no processing threads. It also has up to 108MB of L3 cache, a frequency of up to 2.4GHz, and a TDP of up to 330W.
The only known processor, Sierra Forest-AP, doesn’t have a name, but we know quite a bit about it. It has 288 cores with no processing threads, a total of 216 MB of L3 cache memory, and a TDP of 500 watts. Unfortunately, there is no data on the frequency of this processor.
2 new sockets
These new processors have two different sockets. that much LGA 4710 socket It is designed for Xeon 6-SP, configuring up to 8 sockets on the same motherboard. This socket is codenamed Beechnut City and supports up to 32 DIMM slots for up to 4TB DDR5 capacity and up to 136 PCIe Gen5 lanes.
Besides, we LGA 7592 socket “Avenue City” is exclusive to the Xeon 6-AP processor. This socket supports up to 24 DIMM slots in a 12-lane memory configuration. As if that wasn’t enough, it also offers up to 136 PCIe Gen5 lanes.
All these factors are meant to compete directly with the AMD EPYC Bergamo Zen 4C processor and the upcoming EPYC Turin Zen 5C processor that will be released this year. It will be a very tough competition as AMD can offer more cores than Intel processors.
