Intel will reveal the company's 5th Generation Xeon (Emerald Rapids) processors on December 14. However, an Intel presentation titled "Data Centric Processor Roadmap" (via InstLatX64) hosted at the European Southern Observatory has spilled the beans on what Emerald Rapids brings to the server market.
Based on the same Intel 7 node as Sapphire Rapids, Emerald Rapids promises better performance per watt, pushing more cores and L3 cache. Using the Xeon Platinum 8592+ (Emerald Rapids) and the Xeon Platinum 8480+ (Sapphire Rapids) for comparison, Intel claims that the former provides up to 1.2X higher web (server-side java) performance, 1.3X higher HPC (LAMMPS- Copper) performance, and 1.2X higher media (transcode FFMPEG) performance. The chipmaker's performance figures seem credible since Emerald Rapids wields the faster Raptor Cove cores than Sapphire Rapids, which uses Golden Cove cores. Moreover, the upcoming Xeon Platinum 8592+ has eight more cores than the existing Xeon Platinum 8480+.
