While AMD is preparing the 96-core Threadripper 7000, Intel is also not sitting idly by.
New details about Sapphire Rapids-X processors have appeared on the Web. As mentioned earlier, such CPUs should be released both in the form of a consumer HEDT line and in the form of solutions for workstations. All processors will be named Xeon-W and refer to the Fishhawk Falls platform.
AMD, recall, since the last generation of Threaripper also has a division into consumer HEDT and workstation models that come out as part of the Threadripper Pro line. True, the current generation is only available in the form of such processors.
Be that as it may, if AMD has a difference between the two lines, it is noticeable, but not huge, then Intel will have completely different CPUs, at least in terms of the number of cores. The source says that consumer will be limited to only 24 cores, that is, they are unlikely to be able to compete even with the Threadripper 3000, despite the more modern architecture. But the top Xeon-W for workstations will have 56 cores, which is consistent with all early data. That is, they will be far from the Threadripper 7000.
Consumer Xeon-W will allegedly operate at frequencies up to 5-5.2 GHz with a TDP in the range of 200-300 watts. Such processors will have a quad-channel RAM controller and 64 PCIe 5.0 lanes.
Older Xeon-Ws will offer an eight-channel memory controller and 112 PCIe 5.0 lanes. All new items will use the LGA 4677 socket. Intel may announce new items as early as May 27, and they may enter the market in the third quarter.
