Description:
New Efficiency-cores will help data centers to reduce power consumption in 2024s Sierra Forest chips.

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

Even though Intels 5th Gen Xeon (Emerald Rapids) chips wont be launching
until the final three months of this year, we already know what to expect in 2024.

The company has lifted the wraps off its up-and-coming Sierra Forest and Granite Rapids products, and yet again, theres a clear emphasis on artificial intelligence while tackling some of the industrys biggest issues.

Adding to the existing Performance-core (P-core) architecture will be a new Efficient-core (E-core) architecture to help data centers in their ongoing (and frankly colossal) battle with energy efficiency. Intels 2024 lineup will be even better for the environment

According to the companys announcement , it is the provider of the best AI performance on any CPU, and the processors with P-cores (Granite Rapids) promise to give a significant boost to those looking to carry out intensive
AI workloads. Read more

Intel says it has now patched all its buggy Sapphire Rapids chips

Compared with the 4th Gen Xeon chips that we know today as Sapphire Rapids, Granite Rapids looks to be able to deliver 2-3x better performance for mixed AI workloads.

Its the processors with E-cores, codenamed Sierra Forest, which are most worthy of the spotlight, though. Compared with 4th Gen hardware, Sierra
Forest chips promise up to 2.4x better performance per watt. Despite each CPU being able to accommodate up to 144 cores, the vastly improved efficiency should help data centers to significantly reduce their power consumption
where applicable in 1S and 2S servers .

Data centers in particular have come under scrutiny recently over their intensive consumption of numerous resources, particularly energy and water. While the solution clearly lies in a multifaceted approach, including
reducing our own digital footprint, being able to carry out the same work
with fewer resources is clearly an important piece of the puzzle. Check out our roundup of the best bare metal hosting
