Intel 144-core Sierra Forest CPU benchmark shows strong performance, but still falls behind AMD's Bergamo

Intel.

Intel's upcoming Sierra Forest server chip has leaked onto Geekbench 6 with impressive multi-core performance (via BenchLeaks). Sierra Forest comes with up to 144  efficiency cores, and it's slated to arrive in the first half of 2024. The server CPU is expected to compete directly with AMD's Zen 4c Bergamo server CPUs and ARM-based server chips like those made by Ampere.

The Sierra Forest server tested on Geekbench 6 used a dual-socket configuration of two 144-core Sierra Forest CPUs. There is a 288-core version of Sierra Forest on the way, but Geekbench makes it clear that two CPUs were used.
