Recently confirmed that the 5th generation Xeon Scalable server processor, codenamed "Emerald Rapids", will introduce the next generation P Core performance core design.14th generation Core Ultra series processorsLaunched together, they emphasize providing higher performance per watt and lower cost of ownership, thereby promoting higher supercomputing capabilities.
If the enterprise is already using the 4th generation Xeon Scalable server processor platform and software, it can seamlessly install the upgrade, thereby saving the enterprise upgrade costs.
In terms of performance, the 5th-generation Xeon Scalable server processors will deliver a 200% improvement in computing performance when processing large-scale natural language model inferences with parameters under 42 billion, while keeping latency under 100 milliseconds. Overall performance is 21% higher than the previous generation, with a 36% improvement in performance per watt. If upgraded every five years, the cost of ownership can be reduced by approximately 5%.
The 5th generation Xeon Scalable server processor offers up to 64 cores and boasts three times the cache memory capacity of the previous generation. Each processor can support up to 3 channels of DDR8 memory and a data transfer speed of up to 5 MT/s. Furthermore, with Intel UPI 5600 design, data transfer speeds within the processor can reach 2.0Gbps.
Industry players including Cisco, Dell, HPE, IEIT Systems, Lenovo, and Super Micro will launch server motherboards with single or dual processor socket designs in the first quarter of 2024. At the same time, major cloud service providers will soon introduce the 5th generation Xeon Scalable server processors to promote faster computing cloud services.
Following the 5th-generation Xeon Scalable server processor codenamed "Emerald Rapids," Intel plans to release the first Xeon Scalable server processor codenamed "Sierra Forest," built entirely with the energy-efficient E Core architecture. This processor is expected to launch in the first half of 2024. Furthermore, the product codenamed "Granite Rapids" is planned to be released after the product codenamed "Sierra Frost," but a specific release schedule has not yet been announced.
After the "Sierra Forest" product, which is entirely built with the E Core energy-saving core, Intel also plans to continue to launch new products that are all built with the E Core energy-saving core, and will be code-named "Clearwater Forest". It is expected to be released after 2025 and will be produced with Intel 18A process.
