It is assumed that such CPUs will have up to 56-60 cores
Intel will launch Ice Lake-SP generation Xeon server processors early next year. They will be based, as you might guess, on the Sunny Cove architecture and will be produced using a 10-nanometer process technology.
A giant Intel processor that will be released in a year at best. The first photo of the Xeon Sapphire Rapids appeared
But the number of cores, if you focus on the available data, they will not please, being limited to either 32, or 36 cores.
But already at the end of 2021 or at the beginning of 2022, the server CPUs of Sapphire Rapids should be released. They will keep the 10nm process technology but will move to the Willow Cove architecture, which is at the heart of the current mobile Tiger Lake. They will also migrate to the new LGA 4677 socket.
In addition, according to recent rumors, they will switch to a four-die chipset configuration that will allow Intel to build 56-core CPUs, and later 60-cores. In addition, each of the four crystals will allegedly contain HBMe memory up to 64 GB. And below you can see a photo of, presumably, just such a processor.
True, the photo hints at the presence of two crystals, not four, but nevertheless, the above is a rumor.
