YuuKi was one of the first to publish Intel’s Sapphire Rapids engineering samples. No photos of the Sierra Forest processor have been released, but a photo of the new socket design has surfaced. However, it does not show the socket itself, but a protective cover with the inscription LGA-7529, which indicates a higher pin count than Sapphire Rapids’ 4677 design.
The new Xeon Sierra Forest platform is part of the upcoming “Birch Stream” platform, a series of Xeon processors equipped with so-called Efficient Cores. This is a new segment of Intel’s data center CPUs that is expected to compete with AMD’s EPYC Bergamo with Zen4c cores. This “Atom”-based Xeon processor opens up Intel’s dual-track P/E core roadmap. The processors based on this silicon will exclusively use smaller cores to increase the maximum core count for these CPUs
The Sierra Forest is said by Intel to use the Intel 3 manufacturing process and be optimized for high-density and “ultra-efficient” computing in cloud systems.
Recently, Intel confirmed that Sierra Forest will launch in 2024 along with Granite Rapids. This will be the first time Intel has split its Xeon lineup into P-core and E-core designs.
