Last Tuesday, 10, Intel released its fourth generation processors Xeon Scalable Based on Sapphire Rapids architecture after years of delays. New CPUs for data centers and complex workstations come with improvements in hardware acceleration technology.
For this new generation, Intel 10x performance compared to the previous generation Ice Lake. In addition, consumption and performance per watt could have been increased up to 7.7 times compared to products launched in recent years.
Sapphire Rapids can deliver Models with up to 60 cores, 50% increase compared to the previous generation’s 40 cores. But looking at foreign competition, the AMD EPYC Genoa, number one on the red side, can deliver up to 96 cores.
more efficiency
However, thanks new accelerator technologyIntel should be able to offer greater efficiency in certain scenarios. A total of 52 CPU models will be released, with families specializing in liquid cooling, dual socket, cloud storage, HPC and other systems.
The processors even support a host of features such as AVX-512 instructions, Deep Learning Support (DLBoost), and new Advanced Matrix Extensions (AMX). Also, it will Support for up to 80 PCIe 5.0 lanesand 1.5TB DDR5 RAM running at 4800MHz.
Intel Sapphire Rapids CPUs are currently available in the North American market starting at US$415 (R$2,180). There is still no information about the availability of processors in the Brazilian market.
