Intel is preparing 34 new xeon processors with up to 28 cores

Intel wants to give a new boost to its business platform for which it prepares a large number of new processors within its Xeon series. These are divided into four categories according to the number of cores and the socket to use.

New Xeon to compete with Naples

The new Xeon Bronze 3000 will have a configuration of up to 9 cores, the Xeon Silver 4000 will cover from 10 to 12 cores, the Xeon Gold 6000 will have between 12 and 22 cores and finally the Xeon Platinum 8000 will come with between 24 and 28 cores. All of them compatible with hexachanel memory configurations and LGA3647 sockets for Xeon Gold and Platinum and a more modest LGA2066 for Skylake-based Xeon Bronze and Silver.

New Details for AMD Naples Server Platform

The top of the range will be the Intel Xeon Platinum 8180M with a configuration of 28 cores, 58 threads, a frequency of 2.5 GHz, 28 MB of L2 cache, 38.5 MB of L3 cache, a TDP of 208W and a manufacturing process at 14 nm. If its performance is astronomical, so is its price, no less than $ 12, 000.

This new Intel platform will have to do with Naples, AMD's new professional solution based on the Zen microarchitecture and that will offer configurations of up to 32 cores and 64 processing threads, so Intel will not have it easy to surpass its rival. Zen has shown itself as a wonder in multi-threaded performance, so it is difficult for Intel to beat it with fewer cores.
