Intel Diamond Rapids boosts cores, drops Hyperthreading
TL;DR. Intel's upcoming Diamond Rapids Xeon will feature 192 cores, a 50 percent increase, while discontinuing Hyperthreading technology. - Diamond Rapids will utilize a modular design with multiple compute assemblies, similar to AMD's Epyc architecture. - Intel plans to reintroduce simultaneous multithreading in Coral Rapids, the generation following Diamond Rapids. - The new Xeon processors are expected in 2027, potentially lagging AMD's competing 256-core Venice Epyc chips.
- Intel's Diamond Rapids Xeon processors increase core count by 50% to 192 cores.
- Hyperthreading is removed from Diamond Rapids but will return in the subsequent Coral Rapids generation.
- The new Xeons adopt a chiplet design, resembling AMD's Epyc processors, and will use Intel's 18A-P process.
- Diamond Rapids is slated for a 2027 release, potentially a year after AMD's 256-core Venice Epyc.
