"Granite Rapids delivers several improvements compared to the previous generations, including increased core counts, improved performance per watt, and faster memory and IO innovations," Rivera said. So clearly Intel is giving itself a little wiggle room with its latest roadmap. Intel says it's on track to debut its next performance-optimized Xeon code named Granite Rapids shortly after the launch of Sierra Forest. Intel promises special 8800MTps memory for Granite Rapidsīut just like Sapphire Rapids, Intel's roadmap has the follow-up to Emerald Rapids right around the corner.

While Rivera didn't offer much in terms of details about the chip, she did say it would offer higher core counts and better performance per watt than its predecessor. The company says it's on track to deliver a refresh of its Sapphire Rapids parts in Q4 2023.Įmerald Rapids is a refinement on Intel's current Xeon Scalable platform and will be drop-in compatible for customers willing to go through the process of swapping their CPUs. Intel fans won't have to wait until 2024 for higher core count Xeons, however. Intel plans to follow Sierra Forest up in 2025 with new core-optimized Xeon called Clearwater Forest, which will be the first chip to use its 18A - equivalent to 1.8nm - process tech. Slated for release in the first half of 2024 - if Intel can actually stay on schedule - Sierra Forest will launch roughly a year behind AMD's 128-core Bergamo parts, which are due out in the first half of this year and target the same segment. The rub for Intel is that it's already behind bringing such a chip to market. While the Arm chips have seen widespread success in the cloud in recent years, the argument in Intel's favor is, because Sierra Forest is x86, the chip works just like any other Intel CPU - no code to refactor and, for the most part, no application compatibility issues to worry about.
