Intel Xeon "Emerald Rapids" exposure: supports up to 64 cores and DDR5-5600 memory

CTOnews.com Sept. 3 news, although Sapphire Rapids may not be available yet, @ YuuKi_AnS has now given an updated generation of CPU specifications.

It is said that the Xeon CPU, called Emeralds Rapids, is the successor to Sapphire Rapids and uses the same Eagle Stream platform, but with minor changes, such as support for faster DDR5 memory.

CTOnews.com knows that the new product is also based on the Intel 7 architecture and the same platform, but it looks like Emeralds Rapids (EMR) will offer a 64-core model, while Sapphire Rapids has up to 56 Performance cores.

The fourth-generation "Sapphire Rapids" can provide 1 DIMM (1DPC) configuration per channel, supporting 4800 memory, while the Emeralds Rapids will support the same dual modules per channel (2DPC) speed, but the 1DPC (DIMM per channel) will be increased to 5600 Mbps.

The UPI (Ultra Patch Interconnect) link will now reach 20 GT / s, higher than the 16 GT / s of Sapphire Rapid.

In addition, Intel will add a TDX "trust domain extension" for hardware isolation of virtual machines. In addition, Intel does not highlight other updates on PPT.
