@yuuki_ans on X (Twitter) shared a CPU-Z screenshot of an 80-core Granite Rapids Intel Xeon engineering sample, displaying several major specifications of the new chip. The chip comes with 80 cores and also features 672MB of L3 cache, a 2.5 GHz max frequency, and a 350W TDP.
Sadly we have to take most of these specifications with a huge grain of salt, it's obvious that CPU-Z is not reporting some of the CPU specifications correctly. For instance, if you look at the thread count, CPU-Z displays a whopping 320 threads that are enabled on the CPU. Granted, this massive thread count might be legit, but there's nothing known about Granite Rapids that would indicate a massive change in Intel's hyperthreading technology would enable 320 threads on just 80 CPU cores.
