Description:
Intels upcoming Sapphire Rapids-SP processor will feature 56 cores, 112 threads and can boost up to 3.3 GHz.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

New details have emerged regarding Intels upcoming Sapphire Rapids-SP 56 core processor which is intended for use in data centers.

According to a new report from Toms Hardware , hardware leaker YuuKi_AnS has once again provided more information on the chip giants Sapphire Rapids processors after benchmarking them back in February of this year.

Just like its Alder Lake processors, Sapphire Rapids will leverage Intels Golden Cove cores and Intel 7 node which was previously known as 10nm
Enhanced SuperFin process.

Based on the screenshots YuuKi-Ans shared on Twitter, the leaked Sapphire Rapids-SP processor has 56 cores and 112 threads. While we dont yet know how it will perform in real-world testing, the new chip is outshined by AMDs EPYC 7003 (Milan) chips that have up to 64 cores and 128 threads. Sapphire Rapids-SP processors

In addition to its 56 cores and 112 threads, Intels Sapphire Rapids-SP chip has 112MB of L2 cache and 105MB of L3 cache. Once again though, the top of
the line EPYC 7003 beats it with up to 256MB of L3 cache.

Still though, Intel is preparing a Sapphire Rapids chip with up to 64GB of HBM23 memory while AMDs Milan-X chips will feature 512MB of 3D V-Cache.

Its also worth noting that the Sapphire Rapids-SP processor leaked by YuuKi-AnS is an engineering sample so things could change when the chip goes into production. Regardless, the leaked processor has a base clock of 1.9 GHz and can boost all the way up to 3.3 GHz. Meanwhile, the single-core boost clock can reach speeds of up to 3.7 GHz. Read More

Powering Intels Sapphire Rapids-SP processor will require a significant
amount of energy as it has a 350W PL1 rating according to YuuKi-AnSs screenshots and a 420W PL2 rating. However, the actual enforced power limit from inside the BIOS goes all the way up to 764W and the chip itself can
reach a max temperature of 99 degrees Celsius.

Although Sapphire Rapids was supposed to be released during Q2 of 2022,
delays have pushed its release to the third quarter of this year. These
delays also mean that Intels new data center chip may have to go up against AMDs EPYC 7004 (Genoa) which could arrive around the same time. Move beyond the limitations of shared hosting with the best dedicated server hosting
