SemiAccurate thinks there actually isn\u2019t a lot to see right here however we&#8217;ll record them out in your\u2026 err\u2026 pleasure?<\/p>\n<p>Final 12 months we noticed the launch of the Granite Rapids UCC half, the three CPU tile plus two IO tile variant, no extra -SP and -AP it appears. Immediately we now have the XCC 2+2 CPU tile\/IO tile variant, the HCC 1+2, and the LCC new die + 2 with as much as 86, 48, and 16-cores respectively. Herein lies the primary drawback, on the UCC launch Intel flatly refused to say what number of cores had been on a CPU tile. Since 128 doesn\u2019t divide properly by three, the quantity was clearly at the least 43. 43 is just not a pleasant laptop quantity both and the XCC has 2\u00d743 lively cores however the HCC has \u2018as much as\u2019 48c. So the reply is 48 proper?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.semiaccurate.com\/assets\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Xeon-6-dies.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-45170\" src=\"https:\/\/www.semiaccurate.com\/assets\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Xeon-6-dies-617x347.jpg\" alt=\"Intel Xeon 6 dies\" width=\"617\" height=\"347\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.semiaccurate.com\/assets\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Xeon-6-dies-617x347.jpg 617w, https:\/\/www.semiaccurate.com\/assets\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Xeon-6-dies-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.semiaccurate.com\/assets\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Xeon-6-dies-87x49.jpg 87w, https:\/\/www.semiaccurate.com\/assets\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Xeon-6-dies-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.semiaccurate.com\/assets\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Xeon-6-dies.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 617px) 100vw, 617px\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>4 Of The 5 New Variants<br \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Not so quick, all the photographs\/renders of the die Intel confirmed off solely have 44 die candidate spots so\u2026 We will\u2019t inform both so we requested. It seems that the multi-CPU tile elements have 44c per die and the only CPU tile elements have 48c. That will be UCC\/XCC and HCC respectively however Intel used the identical 44c pic for each within the slides. Mainly the CPU tile to CPU tile interconnects had been eliminated on HCC and changed with cores. The LCC die has a claimed 16 candidates and the picture matches there so not a lot controversy this time. Since SemiAccurate is understood for snark, we supplied Intel assist with chiplet reuse planning by means of backchannels however they politely declined.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.semiaccurate.com\/assets\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Xeon-6-CPUs.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-45172\" src=\"https:\/\/www.semiaccurate.com\/assets\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Xeon-6-CPUs-617x347.jpg\" alt=\"Intel Xeon 6 CPUs\" width=\"617\" height=\"347\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.semiaccurate.com\/assets\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Xeon-6-CPUs-617x347.jpg 617w, https:\/\/www.semiaccurate.com\/assets\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Xeon-6-CPUs-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.semiaccurate.com\/assets\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Xeon-6-CPUs-87x49.jpg 87w, https:\/\/www.semiaccurate.com\/assets\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Xeon-6-CPUs-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.semiaccurate.com\/assets\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Xeon-6-CPUs.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 617px) 100vw, 617px\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>The Fundamental Specs<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>These variants are packaged into the 4 new strains talked about above, with the 6500 and 6700 strains being the meat of the market.

Should you run the TCO numbers on that, Intel doesn\u2019t come out so effectively. As you go down the AMD stack, issues enhance a bit for Intel however, effectively, decrease core rely prospects have a tendency to not be so centered on TCO.<\/p>\n<p>Transferring again to Intel, their presentation follows the trail of evaluating very choose benchmarks the place Intel does effectively, and principally evaluating to CPUs in their very own strains.

This one caps out at 8 cores and two reminiscence channels which implies it&#8217;s in all probability a repurposed desktop half with the crippled cores fused off. No rationalization about this half was given so we will\u2019t inform you a lot about it. This was once the realm of the Xeon-D however that has moved up on this planet so the 6300 is the brand new entry machine. Yay?<\/p>\n<p>Final up we now have a few new NICs, the 200GbE twin port E830 and the 10GbE E610 line with both two or 4 ports. Not a lot to say right here, they&#8217;re what they are saying on the tin, a crucial improve to help the throughput of the system.<\/p>\n<p>So in the long run we now have a couple of new strains of Intel Xeon 6 CPUs. The headline acts are reused tiles from final 12 months\u2019s Granite Rapids UCC\/6900 launch, about what you&#8217;d anticipate. The LCC die provides a brand new CPU tile with 16c max, it might be dwarfed by the 2 IO tiles however it&#8217;s new. Lastly the Xeon 6 SoC has a brand new IO tile which is de facto attention-grabbing however SemiAccurate lacks the knowledge to inform you any particulars. All in all this launch is about what we anticipated, principally reused bits with a couple of twists.
