Intel to Launch 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable Portfolio on April 6

[btarunr]

Intel today revealed that it will launch its 3rd Generation Xeon Scalable processor series at an online event titled "How Wonderful Gets Done 2021," on April 6, 2021. This will be one of the first major media events headed by Intel's new CEO, Pat Gelsinger. Besides the processor launch, Intel is expected to detail many of its advances in the enterprise space, particularly in the areas of 5G infrastructure rollout, edge computing, and AI/HPC. The 3rd Gen Xeon Scalable processors are based on the new 10 nm "Ice Lake-SP" silicon, heralding the company's first CPU core IPC gain in the server space since 2015. The processors also introduce new I/O capabilities, such as PCI-Express 4.0.

PCI 4 in 2021. These will probably beat rome in some workloads. A bit late to the party Intel, they will probably fare better with SR, IF they are on time.

it would be more believable if they launched 5 days sooner.

Only a year late with mediocre perf and outrageous power consumption. Congratulations, intel. You're still competing with 14nm lol

I think the new Xeons are on 10nm, but based on an older Ice Lake architecture instead of Tiger Lake. Overall it should allow Intel to be more competitive, but against the Zen 3 based EPYC, Intel may not have any advantage. So unless Intel is selling these at very competitive prices, I feel it will not stop AMD from chipping more market share away from them.

I mean Intel is only competing with their 14nm lineup. 10nm still won't allow for clocks. There's probably negligible perf increase from last gen. Intel will only tout avx512 as we've seen from "leaks".

but against the Zen 3 based EPYC, Intel mayDOES not have any advantage.

here let me fix that for you.
