The most expensive next generation Intel desktop processors. These will be the new Core-X

Intel’s Sapphire Rapids generation of processors will include the Xeon server CPU lines as well as the new HEDT processors. That is, it is with Sapphire Rapids that Intel will bring back competitors for Ryzen Threadripper, which now dominate this segment, to the market.

And today rumors that such CPUs will use the new Golden Cove architecture have been confirmed. It will replace Williow Cove (in CPU Tiger Lake) and will form the basis of not only the Sapphire Rapids generation, but also the Alder Lake processors. The information is confirmed thanks to changes in the Linux patch, where the Williow Cove architecture was previously attributed to the novelties for some reason.

Of course, it is too early to talk about the superiority of the new architecture over the old, but it should be so. That is, Intel’s new Core-X CPUs should be very productive.

Also, recall, the Golden Cove architecture has support for DDR5, PCIe 5.0 and is designed for production using the 10-nanometer Enhanced SuperFin process technology.

Server-based Sapphire Rapids are expected to carry up to 56 cores. Perhaps, there will be the same number of top-end Core-X of the new generation, but here a lot depends, including on TDP.
