Intel Unveils Powerful and Efficient Xeons for 2023

Intel has provided more technical details about its upcoming Xeon processors, Granite Rapids and Sierra Forest, at the Hot Chips conference. These processors, set to launch in 2024, will introduce area-efficient E-cores to Intel's server platform. The 6th generation Xeon Scalable platform will feature a shared platform for both processors, including the same socket, memory, and chiplet-based design. Sierra Forest will be Intel's first E-core Xeon Scalable chip for data centers, while Granite Rapids will follow shortly after. The platform will support up to 12 memory channels and offer self-booting capabilities. The processors will have different core counts and performance capabilities, but Intel aims to make them interchangeable.
