The group Intel should offer a new family of Xeon processors for servers this year. The new series Sapphire Rapids will bring a number of changes, starting with a new platform Eagle Stream supporting DDR5 memory and PCIe Gen 5 interface.
The most powerful processor in this family will feature 56 cores / 112 threads with powerful cores Golden Cove engraved in 10 nm Enhanced SuperFin (Intel node 7).
It could be equipped with DDR5 memory but Intel is also preparing a version with up to 64 GB of HBM2e memory. The prototypes of the Sapphire Rapids processor in 56 cores currently reach speeds of 1.9 GHz in base and up to 3.3 GHz in boost (and 3.7 GHz on one core) but it remains to be seen what will be the definitive frequencies.
The system spotted by the leaker Yuuki_AnS was based on 1 TB of DDR5 and is announced with a power of 350W in level PL1 and 420W in level PL2 but the total power could climb to 764W, according to BIOS data.
Sapphire Rapids will come up against AMD Epyc Milan server processors in Zen 3 and the Milan-X evolution with 3D V-Cache, but the platform could be quickly countered by the arrival of Epyc in Zen 4 engraved in 5 nm , with Genoa armed with 96 hearts expected towards the end of the year.
