Intel introduced its new technologies and products on the first day of the Innovation 2023 event held in the USA today. The company focused especially on its breakthroughs in artificial intelligence and the capabilities of its new Meteor Lake series processors and Core Ultra. However, developments were also shared for the Xeon series, which many people follow closely. Here are the details…
The new 5th Generation Intel Xeon series processors have 288 cores!
Among the products that attracted the most attention at the Intel event were the new Xeon processors. The company shared its road map revealing three product families. Xeon CPUs called Sierra Forest, Granite Rapids and Clearwater Forest will arrive in 2024-2025.
Previously, information about Intel’s new generation P-Core Xeon family called Granite Rapids, the E-Core Xeon family called Sierra Forest and the following Clearwater Forest was shared. But today, it was announced that all three product families will be compatible with the new Birch Stream platform. Additionally, there will be LGA 4710 and LGA 7529 versions of this platform.
The topic that was focused more on today was Intel’s new 5th generation Xeon series processors, Emerald Rapids, which will actually be released on December 14. At the same time, some leaks we previously encountered have also been confirmed. So what was said?
Intel said 5th Generation Intel Xeon processors will bring a combination of performance improvements and faster memory to the world’s data centers while using the same amount of power. Sierra Forest with e-core efficiency, which will be available in the first half of 2024, will offer 2.5x better rack density and 2.4x higher performance per Watt compared to 4th Generation Xeon. It will also have a 288-core version.
Granite Rapids with P-core performance will be released immediately after the launch of Sierra Forest and will offer 2 to 3 times higher AI performance compared to 4th Generation Xeon. In 2025, the next generation E-core Xeon, codenamed Clearwater Forest, will be offered on the Intel 18A process node.
