Intel unveils powerful 48-core Xeon processor

Intel has revealed its new Xeon processor line-up, which boasts chips with up to 48 physical cores and support for a ridiculous amount of RAM.

The new chips are named the Xeon Cascade Lake series, and feature a new architecture with multiple CPU dies on a single package - similar to the design used by AMD's recently-launched EPYC processors.
 
I guess we have another announcement coming tomorrow about AMD releasing a higher core CPU.
 
"Powerful" 14nm with the same shitty TDP. Gotta love these articles
 

Its just a 48 core/48 thread processor, while AMD's Epyc is a 32 core/64 thread processor.
 
Intel's 10nm woes continues. Meanwhile we'll be having 7nm Ryzen 2 next year.
 
Wow. . . . "Intel stated that its new Xeon Cascade Lake chips are built for the most demanding workloads available, offering up to 3.4-times the performance of AMD’s EPYC 7601 chip in certain tasks." Thats amazing . . . . . Untill you read the fine print where in their testing they turned off SMT on the EPYC cpu, 3.4 times faster my foot.

Yeah just love Intel "comparisons". In their mind the lack of SMT is a feature that should be "enabled" for AMD. I guess once shady always shady.
