Chipzilla delays production of next gen Xeons

Sapphire Rapids not so rapid after all

Chipzilla has delayed production of its next-generation Xeon Scalable CPUs, code-named Sapphire Rapids, to the first quarter of 2022 and said it would start ramping shipments by at least April of next year.

Sapphire Rapids Xeon SP processor is being etched using the Enhanced SuperFin tweak of Intel’s 10-nanometer manufacturing process. Of course, we have to take Intel’s word for it, as it gets products out as fast as an asthmatic ant with a heavy load of shopping and even Apple manages to make its products look advanced by comparison.

Writing in her bog Lisa Spelman, head of Intel's Xeon and Memory Group tried to put a brave face on an announcement which is just yet another example of Intel falling behind.

She teased the CPU's new microarchitecture and two features that will be new to the Xeon lineup: the next generation of Deep Learning Boost and an acceleration engine called Intel Data Streaming Accelerator.
