Numerous cores which will be supported by a significantly increasing cache. We are talking regarding 2 MB of L2 cache for each core, for a total of 120 MB of L2. In addition, the L3 cache is shared and amounts to 300 MB for an impressive combined cache total of 420 MB all the same. It should be noted that this represents an increase of 2.6x compared to Sapphire Rapids, the previous generation at Intel.
On the other hand, compared to AMD’s competing offering consisting of Genoa and Genoa-X CPUs, we are still far from the mark: on these watches, we are talking, in the best case, of 96 cores/192 threads and A mind-blowing total of 1.25 GB of combined cache divided into 96 MB of L2 cache, 384 MB of L3 cache linked to CCDs and 768 MB of L3 cache linked to 3D V-Cache.
Of course, technical data is not everything and Intel still has a few chips that are a little more muscular than this Xeon Platinum 8580, but the maximum remains stuck on 64 cores (Xeon Platinum 8592). We will see all of this in more detail when they are released on December 14.
