Intel Xeon “Emerald Rapids” Xeon 8551C & 8558P CPUs leak out

Intel fifth Gen Xeon “Emerald Rapids” units for robust competitors

Intel’s upcoming Emerald Rapids HPC processor collection is predicted to enhance the corporate’s Xeon portfolio with a rise in core depend in comparison with the long-delayed Sapphire Rapids collection. Nonetheless, this enchancment shouldn’t be as large because the EPYC line, which now has as much as 96 Zen4 cores (and even 128 with Zen4c). For Intel, the core depend is claimed to be raised to 64 cores by the upcoming fifth Gen Xeon structure.

In a bid to compete with the EPYC lineup, Intel is specializing in configurations with decrease core counts, such because the 48 cores/96 threads configuration. This will likely be accessible throughout varied SKUs within the upcoming fifth Gen Xeon collection. Not too long ago, two of those new Xeon CPUs, the Xeon Platinum 8551C and Xeon Platinum 8558Phad been noticed on Geekbench. Each CPUs, that includes 48 cores and 96 threads, had been examined on the CentOS Linux OS, probably on the identical platform geared up with 256GB of DDR5 reminiscence.

Detailed Geekbench knowledge reveals that each CPUs achieved boosts as much as 3.17 GHz in the course of the check. Nonetheless, it’s value noting that Geekbench may wrestle to offer constant, dependable info for high-core depend CPUs. What appears to be confirmed, although, is that the 8551C has a base clock of two.9 GHz, whereas the 8558P operates at a base clock of two.7 GHz.

Xeon Emerald Rapids CPUs, Supply: Geekbench

The AMD EPYC Genoa processor, that includes a 48-core config and 290W TDP, demonstrates higher efficiency in comparison with each Intel Xeon Emeralds Rapids CPUs in each single-core and multicore benchmarks. Regardless of this, it’s value noting that Intel CPUs managed to outperform the EPYC 7643 CPU with a 240W TDP underneath related configurations of 48 cores and 96 threads.

The just lately unveiled consumer-grade HEDT CPU, generally known as Threadripper 7970X, was solely launched final week. We included this 32-core CPU in our comparability to point out that data-center processors will wrestle to rival the Threadripper CPU in single-threaded workloads. However, the HPC processors keep a bonus in multithreaded exams. The explanation we added this CPU is that Intel will launch its Xeon W3500/2500 workstation/HEDT CPUs subsequent 12 months, which can possible be closely derived from Emerald Rapids.

The Intel fifth Gen Xeon Sequence will likely be launched on December 14th. It would come together with client platforms like Meteor Lake. At this second, it’s unclear if Xeon is claimed to launch a full lineup, or relatively announce a number of components that had been already confirmed and launch extra SKUs later. One is evident although is that Intel is already engaged on the much more succesful Granite Rapids collection, anticipated later subsequent 12 months.
