The "Granite Rapids-D" line of upcoming processors are designed for data-center servers on the edge. These non-socketed processors come in BGA4368 packages. The company is reportedly readying at least two key variants of these chips based on core-counts and memory channels. The "Granite Rapids-D" HCC (high core-count) is an MCM of a "Granite Rapids" LCC (low-core count) compute tile, and a single I/O tile with a 4-channel DDR5 memory interface.

The "Granite Rapids-D" XCC (extreme core-count) has one "Granite Rapids" HCC (high core-count) compute tile, and two I/O tiles that make up the chip's 8-channel DDR5 memory interface. A probable reason for the confusion between LCC, HCC, and XCC terminologies for "Granite Rapids-D" is because the compute tiles are carried over from the main "Granite Rapids-SP" server processors, where they mean different things for the core-counts of mainline servers.
