We first began listening to about Intel’s next-gen Xeon “Emerald Rapids” CPUs again in August 2021; fast-forward two years, and we’re nonetheless not seeing them within the wild, with new rumors teasing Intel’s upcoming Xeon Platinum 8551C and Xeon Platinum 8558P “Emeralds Rapids” processors.

Intel’s new Xeon Platinum 8551C and Xeon Platinum 8558P “Emeralds Rapids” processors each function 48 cores and 96 threads of CPU energy, lately examined on the CentOS Linux OS and 256GB of DDR5 reminiscence. Geekbench outcomes see each the brand new Emerald Rapids CPUs at as much as 3.17GHz throughout their testing, with the 8551C that includes a 2.9GHz base clock and the 8558P that includes a 2.7GHz base clock.
However… AMD has launched its consumer-focused HEDT processors with the brand new Ryzen Threadripper 7000 collection that includes as much as 64 cores and 128 threads on the desktop, not an Xeon-based CPU for servers. There’s additionally the Ryzen Threadripper 7970X processor with 32 cores and 64 threads that comes near the multi-core efficiency in Geekbench towards the Xeon Platinum 8551C.
Intel will announce its new Xeon “Emerald Rapids” on December 14, the place we can be launched to the brand new Meteor Lake CPU platform, too. We’ll hear about every little thing AI as a result of Intel’s occasion is definitely known as AI In every single place. I can not wait to see what CPUs Intel has in its benchmark charts for its new Xeon “Emerald Rapids” platform.
Above that, with out even getting into the EPYC household of CPUs… AMD has its flagship Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7995WX processors with 96 cores and 192 threads of Zen 4-powered CPU efficiency accessible for HEDT platforms… in your desk. The server, knowledge middle, and AI aspect of issues can scale even larger with AMD providing its EPYC household of processors led by the AMD EPYC “Bergamo” CPU that has 128 cores and 256 threads of CPU energy
