Intel prepara Xeon de 500 vatios 6 SKU de Granite Rapids y Sierra Forest

Intel is preparing to unveil its cutting-edge Xeon 6 serie server CPUs, known as Granite Rapids and Sierra Forest. These forthcoming processors are set to deliver a significant boost in performance, foreshadowing a new era of computing power, albeit with a trade-off in increased power consumption. Two days ago, Yuuki_Ans posted information about the Beechnut City validation platform. Hoy, he updated the X thread with more information that Intel is significantly boosting core counts across its new Xeon 6 póngase en fila. The flagship Xeon 6 6980P is a behemoth, packing 128 cores with a blistering 500 Watt Thermal Design Power (TDP) clasificación. De hecho, Intel is equipping five of its Xeon 6 CPUs with a sky-high 500 W TDP, including the top four Granite Rapids parts and even the flagship Sierra Forest SKU, which is composed entirely of efficiency cores. This marks a substantial increase from Intel’s previous Xeon Scalable processors, which maxed out at 350-385 Vatios.

The trade-off for this performance boost is a dramatic rise in power consumption. By nearly doubling the TDP ceiling, Intel can double the core count from 64 a 128 cores on its Granite Rapids CPUs, vastly improving its multi-core capabilities. Sin embargo, this focus on raw performance over power efficiency means server manufacturers must redesign their cooling solutions to accommodate Intel’s flagship 500 W parts adequately. Failure to do so could lead to potential thermal throttling issues. Intel’s next-gen Xeon CPU architectures are shaping up to be one of the most considerable generational leaps in recent memory. Aún, they come with a trade-off in power consumption that vendors and data centers will need to address. Densely packing thousands of these 500-Watt SKUs will lead to new power and thermal challenges, and we wait to see future data center projects utilizing them.
