Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, has announced the company will be making a complete transition to Intel processors (opens in new tab) for its upcoming DGX H100 unit and supercomputer projects in the future. Nvidia will be using Intel’s forthcoming Rapids Sapphire Xeon processor lineup as a total replacement for AMD’s Zen 3 EPYC CPU,…
Intel demonstrated a number of yet-to-be-released products at its annual Intel Vision event. These products are the upcoming Meteor Lake processors for client PCs due in 2023, Sapphire Rapids CPU for datacenters and supercomputers, and Ponte Vecchio compute GPU for artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC) applications. For the first time Intel publicly demonstrated its Sapphire Rapids with…
Twitter user YuuKi_AnS has shared several screenshots exposing the information about Intel’s upcoming Sapphire Rapids-SP 56-core processor. While there are no benchmarks, we get a sneak peek at the chip’s specifications. Like Intel’s mainstream Alder Lake processors, Sapphire Rapids will feature the chipmaker’s Golden Cove cores and Intel 7 node, previously known as the 10nm…
Intel announced via a blog post this morning that Sapphire Rapids will enter production in the first quarter of 2022, with the volume ramp beginning in the second quarter of 2022. The revised production timeline represents a three-month slip from the last Sapphire Rapids roadmap, which projected that production would begin at the end of…
Intel made a slew of announcements at the International Supercomputing (ISC) 2021 conference today, talking up its broad range of solutions for supercomputing and HPC applications. The big news on the hardware front is that Intel’s Ponte Vecchio GPUs will come in an OAM form factor that purportedly consumes up to 600W per package. The…
Intel made a slew of announcements at the International Supercomputing (ISC) 2021 conference today, talking up its broad range of solutions for supercomputing and HPC applications. The big news on the hardware front is that Intel’s Sapphire Rapids data center chips would come with HBM memory, DDR5, PCIe 5.0, and support for CXL 1.1. Additionally, Intel…
Intel has begun enabling Linux support for on-package HBM2E memory for its CPUs, marking a shift to infusing processors with fast memory onboard. This new development comes on the heels of previous Linux patch submissions to enable support for HBM with its upcoming fourth-gen Xeon Scalable ‘Sapphire Rapids’ processors, meaning that some of the company’s…
When Intel announced its public CPU and CPU microarchitecture roadmap last August, it did not formally confirm that its upcoming Sapphire Rapids processor will use its upcoming Golden Cove microarchitecture. For some reason, Intel was publicly quiet about this fact for months and only this week announced it publicly. “Sapphire Rapids uses Golden Cove, not…
Newly published images may reveal that Intel’s forthcoming Sapphire Rapids CPU might feature roughly 72-80 cores, considerably more cores than initially thought. Hardware blogger YuuKi_AnS, known for various leaks, has published pictures of what is claimed to be Intel’s Sapphire Rapid chiplets. This time around he removed the dies from the substrate and exposed their flip side.…
