In an intention to combat with AMD within the datacenter Intel introduced Cascade Lake-AP processors, which have up-to 56 cores and it’s the successor “Skylake-SP” and “Xeon scalable processors” launched in 2017.
The supporting chipset stays the Intel C620 with CPU socket P (LGA3647). In addition to supporting as much as DDR4-2, 933 MHz reminiscence, it has turn into potential to implement as much as 24 or 36 channels of system reminiscence (that’s as much as 12 channels per CPU), which is doubled now. In addition, it helps the newly developed non-volatile reminiscence “Intel Optane DC Persistent Memory”.
The prime of the road and invoice is the “Xeon Platinum 9200” collection with the “Xeon Platinum 9282” with as much as 56 cores. The 56-core “Cascade Lake” is a multi-chip module (MCM) based mostly on two 28-core dies every holding a 6-channel DDR4 reminiscence interface. That leads to 12-channels per processor bundle. it’s only accessible as a BGA bundle mounted immediately on the motherboard. Furthermore, as much as 28 cores “is the Xeon Platinum 8200” collection, as much as 24 cores the “Xeon Gold 6200/5200” collection, as much as 16 cores “Xeon Silver 4200” collection, 6 cores “Xeon Bronze 3204” lineup.
Prices for the SKUs haven’t been introduced and please do anticipate an up-to 400 Watt TDP for that one. AMD will launch its Epyc chips with 64 cores in the summertime of 2019.
