Intel's E-core Xeon and silicon-engineering leads took press questions at Computex.
Intel launches Xeon 6+ Clearwater Forest with 288 E-cores on 18A, delivering 30% performance and efficiency gains over AMD Epyc 9965. The hyperscaler-focused chiplet design signals Intel's strategic shift toward core density and process leadership; Diamond Rapids (2027) will double memory bandwidth and add 50% more cores, reshaping server-market competition.
Intel’s dense Xeon 6+ design marks the first time 18A is being deployed in the data center.
Chipzilla’s first 2nm-class Xeon is finally here bristling with 288 cores
In the near term, Xeon 6+ Clearwater Forest is the part that matters. Formerly known simply as Clearwater Forest, the family uses only E-cores and scales up...
