Intel's next-generation datacenter platform, supporting 'Granite Rapids' and 'Sierra Forest' processors will offer massive improvements in terms of memory bandwidth and input/output capabilities. That's according to a slide published by well-known hardware leaker YuuKi_AnS. But increased performance and throughput will come at a price: next-generation Xeon processors will have a thermal design power of up to 500W.
Intel's 6th Generation Xeon Scalable 'Granite Rapids' processors will increase high-performance core count compared to Sapphire Rapids and Emerald Rapids CPUs, whereas Intel's Xeon 'Sierra Forest' processors based on energy-efficient cores designed for high-density cloud datacenters will feature an even higher core count. These processors will use Intel's LGA7529 socket, and will have a TDP of up to 500W. So expect their peak power consumption under high loads to be significantly higher than previous-gen parts.
