Intel's Upcoming 10nm 24 Core / 48 Threads 'Whitley' CPU Spotted - Geekbench and Sisoft Sandra Benchmarks Leaked

Before we begin, the usual advisories: these benchmarks are based on a very early engineering sample and will certainly change. Driver optimization does not exist at this point so misreads are common as well. Performance shown here may be indicative of final performance but needs to be taken with a grain of salt. Intel has been stuck on the 14nm process for quite a while now and been forced to role out "Optimizations" while its competition moves to 7nm (roughly equivalent to Intel's 10nm). Its 10nm journey has been plagued with missteps but it looks like things are finally starting to look up for TMG.

A Geekbench and Sisoft leak of Intel's upcoming Whitley Lake-SP CPU has been spotted by Videocardz and shows something to get excited about from Intel. Manufactured on the 10nm process, the Whitley platform will succeed Purley and will (finally) transition Intel's server ecosystem to 10nm. Based on these benchmarks it looks like customers and clients can expect an absolutely huge increase in performance as compared to older generation Xeon parts.

Intel's Ice Lake CPUs based on Sunny Cove architecture will bring the first radical new re-write of the company's CPU architecture and were already expected to show huge gains in performance and power efficiency. While Intel had already sort of hammered in the idea that Sunny Cove would be revolutionary, we are seeing for the first time the extent thereof. Intel's existing server-side platform is called Purley and the Ice Lake derivative that will succeed Purley has been codenamed Whitley. What we have here today is essentially a Geekbench leak of the first Whitley part: An Intel Ice Lake SP CPU based on the 10nm process.

We are looking at a server application of the processor as is evident by the massive RAM array and Microsoft Server OS. The part in question is a 24-core /48- thread CPU which would put it in the middle-end of the Ice Lake SP (Whitley) lineup. Another thing you will notice is that the CPU had a turbo of 2.9 GHz. This is far less than the clock speeds attained by modern Intel processors but something we have expected. While clock speeds will almost certainly improve after prototyping and testing, we do expect Ice Lake CPUs to clock less than 14nm parts for the obvious reason of process maturity.

Intel To Discontinue 8th Gen Coffee Lake Desktop CPUs, Flagship Core i7-8700K Goes EOL Too

Intel has announced the discontinuation of its 8th Generation Coffee Lake Desktop CPU lineup including the flagship Core i7-8700K.

wccftech.com

According to Intel, the vast majority of 8th Generation Core processors are being discontinued. As mentioned in the PCN (Product Change Notifications), a discontinuation program for 8th Gen CPUs commences from 1st June. Intel will still be taking orders for 8th Generation processors till the 18th of December with the last batch of 8th Gen CPUs shipping on 4th June, 2021.

Worst clock than 14nm for Intel going 10 is not a good news for them.

Could be new architecture with way higher IPC than current procesors. Kind of like when Core2 CPUs had much lower clocks than Pentium4, but that's highly unlikely.

Joke incoming : ipc gained introducing security flaws.

Funny how intel suddenly working overtime to dethrone AMD again after resting on their laurels for years.

That’s not 14nm +++++

 

[NoxNyctores]

That’s not 14nm +++++

Don't worry, Intel can now exploit 10nm for the next decade, 10nm++++++++++++ here we go

 

[-YFC-]

I look forward to seeing 10nm for the next 10 years.

Intel doesn't care about the CPU's they sold 5 years ago. AMD dominating for a year won't suddenly have more users overall than Intel who were dominating for a decade.

 

[Insane Metal]

So... this CPU which will be released God knows when is basically on par with EPYC CPUs released months ago.

Good for Intel...?
