Intel Emerald Rapids-SP Xeon CPUs Launching In Q4 2023: Up To 64 Cores, 320 MB L3 Cache, Aiming 1S/2S Servers
Intel's upcoming Emerald Rapids-SP Xeon CPUs launching in Q4 2023 are rumored to get a major boost in L3 cache while offering up to 64 cores.Intel's Emerald Rapids-SP Xeon CPU family will be based upon a mature 'Intel 7' node.
You can think of it as a 2nd Gen 'Intel 7' node which would lead to slightly higher efficiency. Emerald Rapids is expected to make use of the Raptor Cove core architecture which is an optimized variant of the Golden Cove core that will deliver 5-10% IPC improvement over Golden Cove cores.
It will also pack up to 64 cores & 128 threads which is a small core bump over the 56 cores & 112 threads featured on Sapphire Rapids chips.Now as per HXL (@9550pro), it seems like the Emerald Rapids-SP Xeon CPUs will be peaking out at 64 cores and available in 1S/2S server configurations.
The 4S-8S platforms will have to wait till the next-generation Granite Rapids-SP Xeon chips for an upgrade. But with that said, one key area that is expected to see a huge boost on Emerald Rapids-SP Xeon CPUs is the L3 cache.
