Intel's Birch Stream-AP socket will provide an LGA7529 socket with as many as 7529 pins to power the next generation of CPUs. Today, thanks to Yuuki_Ans on Twitter, we have another set of pictures that highlight the massive scale that these processors offer. We got similar pictures in the past; however, these are more representative of how big the next-generation Xeon processors are. In 2024, Intel plans to split its Xeon lineup into E-core and P-core powered models. However, both CPUs will utilize the same platform to reduce the overall ecosystem's complexity. Thanks to the new pictures, we can see the processor with its heatsink present, with labeling indicating an engineering sample based on little info printed on the metal surface.

Below are the pictures of the Granite Rapids-AP and the LGA7529 socket, along with the specification table. The third image shows current generation Xeon Platinum processor in the LGA7529 socket.

Because the motherboards are equally huge, covered with expensive components, and complex.

Well I dont think thats a reason or argument not to do it, it just seems this is going to be a problem just getting all the pins to properly make contact, so why not just make it one unit?

What if the CPU fails, you'd have to replace the whole board...

Remember how CPU's are binned. There are various fuses that are determined after testing the CPU... producing the huge quantity of Ghz and #Cores with or without HT and L Voltage editions. They don't actually make these different SKUs
