Intel reveals multi 'turbo' frequencies

As you know, Intel no longer discloses multi-core turbo frequencies, which indicate the speed at which a chip goes when there are a variable number of active cores, for its desktop processors. But the company continues to provide the information publicly for its Xeon processors, as evidenced by the release of a document describing second-generation Xeon Scalable processors, also known as Cascade Lake.

These are the second generation Xeon series multi-core 'Turbo' frequencies

Intel continues to share single core and turbo core frequencies for desktop chips, but the company's refusal to share those frequencies for all cores is confusing. Intel has focused on improving these metrics as it takes on AMD's Ryzen processors, leading to a robust performance boost, so it would make sense for the company to announce those advantages. Instead, we have to be the ones to check how fast an Intel Core processor works on all cores, which is a simple task that we can perform through Intel's own XTU software.

Regardless, the enterprise market is apparently not as receptive to these tactics, which is why Intel released these critical Xeon specs. The document also confirms that Intel has developed new Xeon U processors to deal with AMD in the single-socket server space, and also, unsurprisingly, confirms that the company continues to manufacture Xeon chips with three different matrices.

Intel's document does not include its new 9000 series chips, such as the monster Xeon Platinum 9282 that comes with up to 56 cores and 112 threads in a dual-matrix design that has a TDP power of up to 400 W. The Xeon more powerful than We see in the table is the 28-core 8280 model, which works at a speed of 4.0 GHz in Turbo in a single core and 3.3 GHz in all cores.
