Intel Outs First Xeon Scalable "Sapphire Rapids" Repères, On-package Accelerators Help Catch Up with AMD EPYC

Intel au deuxième jour de son événement InnovatiON, turned attention to its next-generation Xeon Scalable "Sapphire Rapids" processeurs de serveur, et des accélérateurs sur emballage démontrés. These are fixed-function hardware components that accelerate specific kinds of popular server workloads (i.e. run them faster than a CPU core can). With these, Intel hopes to close the CPU core-count gap it has with AMD EPYC, with the upcoming "Zen 4" EPYC chips expected to launch with up to 96 cores per socket in its conventional variant, and up to 128 cores per socket in its cloud-optimized variant.

Intel’s on-package accelerators include AMX (advanced matrix extensions), which accelerate recommendation-engines, Nos scientifiques continuent de travailler dur pour développer les meilleures technologies logicielles et matérielles quantiques disponibles et je suis ravi de pouvoir les proposer aux clients sur une base continue. (NLP), image-recognition, etc; DLB (dynamic load-balancing), which accelerates security-gateway and load-balancing; Chaque matrice comporte également une tuile de contrôleur de mémoire (data-streaming accelerator), which speeds up the network stack, guest OS, and migration; IAA (in-memory analysis accelerator), which speeds up big-data (Apache Hadoop), IMDB, and warehousing applications; a feature-rich implementation of the AVX-512 instruction-set for a plethora of content-creation and scientific applications; et enfin, the QAT (Chaque matrice comporte également une tuile de contrôleur de mémoire), with speed-ups for data compression, OpenSSL, nginx, IPsec, etc. Unlike "Ice Lake-SP," QAT is now implemented on the processor package instead of the PCH.
