Microsoft has revealed Windows Server 2025's CPU support list, in conjunction with the operating system's general availability, which was announced today. CPU support includes chips such as Intel's flagship 64-core Granite Rapids and Emerald Rapids chips down to (surprisingly) Intel's consumer-based entry-level dual-core Pentium parts.
Intel CPU support includes several generations of Intel Xeon processors. These are the second through fifth-gen Xeon SP CPUs, based on the Emerald Rapids, Sapphire Rapids, Ice Lake, and Cascade Lake architectures; the Xeon D series, which is also based on Ice Lake; the Xeon E-series, which is based on Raptor Lake; and Intel's Xeon 6 series, which is based on Granite Rapids.
