«Intel will announce more information about Xeon 6 processors with P-cores during their launch event in September,” VideoCardz portal quotes the company’s PR department as saying.
The Xeon 6 processor family includes two lines: Granite Rapids and Sierra Forest. They are radically different from each other. Granite Rapids processors will offer up to 128 cores, all of which are high-performance P-cores based on the Redwood Cove architecture, similar to that used in Meteor Lake consumer processors. In turn, Sierra Forest processors are entirely built on energy-efficient E-cores in an amount of up to 288 pieces.
The flagship of the Granite Rapids family will be the 128-core Xeon 6 6980P processor. Intel today revealed the results of its testing in the MLPerf Inference benchmark, which measures the performance of chips in AI-related tasks: “Today MLCommons [benchmark creator – approx. ed.] published the results of the industry-standard set of AI performance tests MLPerf Inference v4.1. They present data from six MLPerf benchmarks for 5th Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors and, for the first time, Intel Xeon 6 processors with performance cores (P-Cores).”
The company proudly noted that the flagship Xeon 6 with P-cores demonstrated an average 1.9x increase in performance in AI tasks compared to 5th generation Xeon Scalable processors

The Xeon 6 6980P processor has 504 MB of LLC (Last Level Cache) cache and has a base frequency of 2.0 GHz. This chip consumes up to 500 watts of power. The Granite Rapids series is also expected to include 32-, 44-, 56-, 72-, 96- and 120-core chip models.
