Insider YuuKi_AnS regularly publishes information about upcoming Intel processors, codenamed Sapphire Rapids. They are also known as the 4th generation Xeon Scalable.
This source has previously shared photos of the Sapphire Rapids processor. And now he took off the heat spreader cover and showed what was hidden under it – the processor crystal itself. The CPU is equipped with four computational matrices, each of which has 15 computational cores. The final products alone will not include 60 cores. This complex design requires some cores to be turned off to maintain good yield and availability. According to the leaked information, the flagship 4th generation Xeon Scalable processor will have 56 cores. Thus, at least four cores will be non-functional within the CPU packaging.
Yuuki also revealed the specifications for this particular processor sample, QVV5 (early ES0 sample). The chip is clocked at 1.3GHz and contains 64GB of HBM2e memory. This series of processors will have more cores and built-in HBM2e memory and get PCIe Gen5 interface and support for DDR5 memory. These will be significant upgrades over Intel’s latest Ice Lake-SP series. Sapphire Rapids processors will be manufactured using 10nm process technology using Enhanced SuperFin technology.
