Intel's upcoming Xeon Granite Rapids workstation lineup leaks, poised to challenge AMD Threadripper with $8,300 86-core flagship — retailer lists prices ahead of CES launch, starts at $540

Intel Xeon 6 processor.

Intel is gearing up to announce its next-gen workstation Xeon lineup at CES 2026 in just a few weeks. These processors will be part of the Granite Rapids-WS family, going head-to-head with AMD's Threadripper. Even though they're yet to be announced, retailer listings have started to pop up, revealing preliminary prices that put Granite Rapids-WS in a seemingly healthy spot against the competition. However, do be aware that early retail listings can be inaccurate, though this batch does seem to be in line with expectations.

There are 11 models in total spotted by @momomo_us, which lines up with a previous leak citing the same number of SKUs. The cheapest CPU here is the Xeon 634, coming in at just $541.04. It features 48 MB of L3 cache with a 2.7 GHz base frequency, as mentioned in the listing, and, once again, the lineup leak from last month corroborates that.
