Like RKL, it was shat from the day 1, but many Intel supporters hyped it like nothing before.Intel review embargos have often been weeks before the actual release. This is true even when the product is nothing special.

Rocket Lake as bad as it was. The review embargo was lifted two weeks before the actual release date.Intel review embargo will be weeks early before the release.. they must be very confident 😁

You can bet that this will happen gain.The embargoes have been kind of meaningless for a while since someone manages to get their hands on release silicon weeks before the embargo and publish results.
I remember that AT bought a CPU from overseas and had results almost a month before launch. Another time some retailer accidentally started selling them early and reviewers got their hands on some again.

Press embargo for Alder Lake-S was 10/27/2021, sales embargo was 11/04/2021.For desktop? How was it for Alder Lake-S? I think the sales embargo and reviews embargo was lifted on the same day right? I'm expecting the same for Raptor Lake because it's a refresh of Alder Lake.

Specs of Intel Xeon Sapphire Rapids-WS (Workstation XCC) CPUs leak out: Xeon W9 up to 56 cores and 350W TDP - VideoCardz.com
Next-gen workstation processors from Intel Yesterday we covered a leak featuring the first Xeon W9 part based on the upcoming Sapphire Rapids architecture, today we have a full list of processors from these series. Make no mistake, this is not Xeon Scalable for data-centers. Xeon Workstation is...videocardz.com
Now here is what appears to be the Sapphire Rapids Xeon W processor list. Goes from 12 cores up to 56. Having to cut all the way to 3 cores/tile is rough, but dems the breaks.
Are these going to compete with Zen3 ThreadRipper Pro?
So far an Early ES sample of Genoa has a All boost of 2.25 and they have AVX-512(No AMX of course) on 96 cores.The low base clock isn't that surprising given the dual AVX-512 units and AMX.

The immediate predecessor of those Sapphire Rapids W-2400 Series Xeon are the Xeon W-2000 Series are 1S only have 4 Channel RAM. No W-2300 Series are available.they mention xeon w2400 as well in the article, i wonder whats the difference is (compared to these 3400 cpus). 4-channel only? Or single socket only?

Workstation might just still be on schedule while server has slipped and slipped.Xeon W has always been 1S.
After thinking about it, I think it makes a ton of sense to go ahead with Sapphire Xeon W's launch. They can use the UPI bug as an "excuse" for not launching server, which gives them cover over the yields. It'd be a much easier sell for lower core count parts and the volume is tiny. Plus OEMs pretty much ignored Icelake Xeon W so maybe they would be more interested in skipping it and going to Sapphire.
That's assuming that yields are the problem and the UPI bug is the only one of its kind. Certainly the former isn't true, and I wouldn't bet on the latter either.Xeon W has always been 1S.

That is an ES and has little to do with the final chips. Also, that is with almost twice the cores. Finally, Base clocks on AMD chips do not represent all core boost clocks.So far an Early ES sample of Genoa has a All boost of 2.25 and they have AVX-512(No AMX of course) on 96 cores.
Shame. Sapphire Rapids has quite a bit of potential.For all of you that love Geekbench results(Dr. Ian Cuttress has said that is a very good test for IPC on par with SPEC) so far this is another lack luster performance from a QS Sample of Sapphire Rapids with final clocks.

Intel Xeon Platinum 8480+ Sapphire Rapids 56 Core CPU Benchmarks Leak Out, 35% Faster Than Ice Lake Flagship
Intel's Sapphire Rapids server chip, the Xeon Platinum 8480+ CPU, has been benchmarked within Geekbench 5 & is 35% faster than Ice Lake-SP.wccftech.com
View attachment 65097
That CPU is actually a Final Release sample of the 8480+ with base clocks and Max boost for the Intel Xeon Platinum 8480+ 56C/112T is 2.0 Ghz basecand 3.0 Ghz Max boost
Would be nice to see Intel launch at least 1 16 core part with high frequencies.
These will be the fastest Sapphire Based Xeon
The Xeon Gold 6434 8C/16T will have a max boost of 4.2 Ghz 205W and The Xeon Gold 6444Y 16C/32T Max boost of 4.1 Ghz 270W
Regular HEDT, as in X-series chipset and CPUs for Intel and Threadripper non-pro for AMD is dead. It'll be all W-series now for both Intel and AMD.Are you counting the Xeon Workstation parts? I haven’t kept up with SPR since delays started happening.
It would be incredibly odd of Intel not to release a 4.5-5.5 ghz part for HEDT.
Are you counting the Xeon Workstation parts? I haven’t kept up with SPR since delays started happening..
The ThreadRipper Pro are actually more interesting than the W series XeonsRegular HEDT, as in X-series chipset and CPUs for Intel and Threadripper non-pro for AMD is dead. It'll be all W-series now for both Intel and AMD.
We already know Golden Cove IPC, so there's little new on that front. And you don't seriously think SPR cores will have lower clocks than Ice Lake, right?For all of you that love Geekbench results(Dr. Ian Cuttress has said that is a very good test for IPC on par with SPEC)
You don't seriously think SPR cores will have lower clocks than Ice Lake, right?
