Current entries within the Geekbench database make clear the specs of Intel’s upcoming fifth era Xeon Scalable processors, identified below the codename Emerald Rapids. The information reveals data on numerous product tiers inside the new lineup, together with processors with as much as 48 cores.
The Xeon Platinum 8558P is highlighted as a 48-core and 96-thread processor, with a base clock of two.7 GHz and a possible to succeed in 4.0 GHz throughout enhance. This CPU is supplied with a 16 MB L3 cache and an in depth 192 MB L2 cache, accumulating a considerable whole cache of 260 MB. It additionally options an eight-channel DDR5 built-in reminiscence controller able to speeds as much as 4800 MT/s and is designed to function at a thermal design energy (TDP) of 350 Watts.
One other mannequin, the Xeon Platinum 8551C, mirrors the 48-core and 96-thread configuration and shares the 260 MB mixed cache measurement. This variant, nevertheless, begins with a better base frequency of two.9 GHz, although extra particulars on its enhance frequency and reminiscence controller specifics are but to be disclosed. Comparability with the beforehand detailed 48-core Xeon 8558U, which accommodates a bigger cache composition of 96 MB L2 cache and 260 MB L3 cache, reveals Intel’s differentiated strategy to processor segmentation. Such differentiation now takes under consideration not solely core counts, frequencies, and energy consumption but additionally cache measurement variations between fashions.
