AMD EPYC Milan and Intel Xeon Sapphire Rapids frequencies revealed

It seems that a new battle in the processor market is about to start. AMD would already have its new AMD EPYC Milan processors with Zen 3 architecture. On the other hand, Intel would have its new range of Xeon Silver, Gold and Platinum processors ready. A war where Intel wants to maintain its position in the market and AMD take it away.

Intel would have its new Xeon processors ready and AMD its new EPYC processors

We have on the one hand the Intel Xeon Sapphire Rapids-SP processors based on the 10nm node. On the other hand we have the AMD EPYC Milan processors with Zen 3 architecture and 7nm lithography. Both will compete in the market for processors for servers and Data Centers.

AMD EPYC Milan for its part will be based on the Zen 3 architecture, like the AMD Ryzen 5000. The difference is that the processors for servers and data centers will come with TSMC's 'enhanced' 7nm node.

These new processors from AMD EPYC Milan will be capped at 64 cores and 128 threads with up to 256MB of L3 cache. Also, these processors will have a maximum TDP of 280W, which is not bad. Most of these EPYCs are intended for dual socket configurations, except for the four with the letter 'P', which do not support dual socket.

Regarding the Intel Xeon Sapphire Rapids processors, these in theory should have been released by the end of 2020. The company delayed them for reasons that are currently unknown. These processors will be based on the 10nm + node, which is more advanced than the 10nm SuperFin node of the Tiger Lake-U.

The Intel Xeon Sapphire Rapids will have a maximum of 40 cores and 80 threads, with a maximum L3 cache of 60MB. Boost frequencies for these processors are currently unknown. Their maximum TDP will reach 270W.
