Intel ice lake xeon is based on the lga 4189 socket and an 8 channel ddr4 controller
Table of contents:
The Power Stamp Alliance (PSA) has revealed some of the features of the new Intel Ice Lake Xeon platform, which will build on Intel's advanced 10nm manufacturing process. The first details point to a new socket and an eight-channel memory controller.
First features of Intel Ice Lake Xeon
Itel Ice Lake Xeon will make use of the new LGA 4189 socket, to the detriment of LGA 3647 used by the Kaby Lake and Cascade Lake based Xeons. The new processors will have a TDP of up to 230W, higher than the Cascade Lake, so hopefully it will include a larger number of processing cores, and other features like OmniPath in packaged FPGAs.

To this is added the use of an eight-channel DDR4 memory controller, it will be the first Intel platform to include such a configuration, to meet the great demands of the sector. We will have to wait a little longer to know the rest of the characteristics of this new platform, although it seems that the jump is going to be quite important.
