Emerald Rapids, by Intel, introduces a boost in its flagship by incorporating an additional four cores compared to the company's previous-generation chips. This enhancement allows for up to 128 cores and 256 threads per dual-socket server. Additionally, Intel has tripled the L3 cache and transitioned to faster DDR5-5600 memory for its high-performance models.
Alongside other targeted improvements, which include a significant overhaul of the die architecture, Intel claims that these upgrades result in notable generation-over-generation advancements: a 42% increase in AI inference, a 21% performance boost in general compute workloads, and a 36% improvement in performance-per-watt.
Get your rafts! Sapphire Rapids in sight.
