YuuKi_AnS shared a CPU-Z screenshot containing detailed information purportedly of the next-generation Intel Xeon Scalable Processor engineering sample (ES). The hardware leaker pointed out in [yesterday's post] that there were errors in the application's identification of this prototype chip.
CPU-Z v2.09 has identified the essential information: an Intel Granite Rapids-SP processor, featuring 80 cores, a maximum frequency of 2.5 GHz, 672 MB of L3 cache, and a maximum rated TDP of 350 W. The calculation of 320 threads appears to be a misinterpretation by CPU-Z, as the previously leaked Intel Hyper-Threading configuration information did not mention such remarkable performance.
Based on CPU-Z tracking of single-core and multi-core performance, it's evident that the prototype state of this Xeon chip is quite pronounced – benchmark results deviate from the norm compared to the final scores of the current generation, provided by competitor chips.
Intel's next-generation Xeon series is poised to catch up with AMD EPYC's big-core strategy, as "Granite Rapids" is linked with Intel's 3rd generation nodes. Last month's reports indicate that the configuration of XCC-type processors could "reach 56 cores/112 threads". This is accompanied by Micron's preparation of the next-generation "high-capacity" memory modules, designed with future enterprise processor platforms in mind, including Intel's Xeon Scalable "Granite Rapids" series. Observers anticipate Intel to roll out this series of products in the coming months.
