In February this year, it was announced that it would launch a new product calledFalcon ShoresAfter the architecture design, Intel further explained the design features of this architecture during the International Supercomputing Conference 2022 (ISC 2022).
According to Intel, the Falcon Shores architecture design will allow the x86 architecture processor and Xe GPU to be integrated into a single slot, thereby achieving 5 times the computing performance power consumption ratio and 5 times the computing density, and corresponding 5 times the memory transfer volume and transmission bandwidth.
In addition, Intel also mentioned that the Falcon Shores architecture will adopt an Ångström-level process, so it is possible that it will adopt Intel's 2024A process, which will be put into production in the first half of 20, or the later 18A process, to correspond to higher computing performance.
With a similar design, AMD is expected to launch the Instinct APU product next year that combines the Zen architecture CPU and the CDNA display architecture GPU. NVIDIA proposed this year to combine the Grace CPU and the Hopper GPU design. Not only does it use smaller process technology to allow the CPU and GPU to share the same slot, but it can also use newer packaging technology to make such processor product designs a reality, allowing the CPU and GPU to communicate with each other, which originally required data exchange through memory, but can now be directly changed to a shared memory design, eliminating the data exchange process for data calculations, thereby greatly improving computing efficiency.
In addition to introducing the next-generation Xeon Scalable processor code-named Sapphire Rapids HBM that integrates HBM high-bandwidth memory, and Intel's first server-accelerated GPU code-named Ponte Vecchio, Intel also introduced the next-generation process and tile design of the next server acceleration GPU code-named Rialto Bridge, which will be the successor to Ponte Vecchio and provide higher computing density, performance and efficiency while maintaining software consistency.
Rialto Bridge is expected to provide samples in 2023, and Falcon Shores architecture products will be available in 2024. Both are expected to announce more details later.
