Intel Unveils 2023-2025 Xeon CPU Roadmap: Emerald Rapids In 2023, Granite Rapids & Sierra Forest In 2024, Clearwater Forest In 2025

Is Intel 7 coming in 2022?

Process – Intel 7 is in production and shipping in volume with the launch of 12th Gen Intel® Core™ processors and additional products coming in 2022. Intel 4, our implementation of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography, will be manufacturing-ready in the second half of 2022. Today, Intel announced the roadmap of its upcoming series of Xeon CPUs which are expected to be released during the 2023-2025 timeframe. The upcoming series of CPUs will feature a range of new and innovative technologies, designed to make the most out of existing hardware and applications.

In 2023, Intel plans on releasing the Emerald Rapids Xeon CPUs, which feature the latest 10nm process technology and up to 16 cores per chip. This architecture is designed to provide a 30% increase in instructions-per-clock (IPC) compared to the servers’ existing 14nm technology.

In 2024, Intel is set to launch the Granite Rapids and Sierra Forest Xeon CPUs. Granite Rapids will feature increased core count and clock speed over the Emerald Rapiss. Additionally, it will support Intel’s 3D-stacking technology, allowing the inclusion of three times more transistors in each die. Sierra Forest will feature 10nm tri-gate transistors, which potentially offer 40% better IPC compared to the existing generation of chips.

Finally, in 2025 Intel will be releasing the Clearwater Forest Xeon CPUs. This CPU family will be Intel’s first heterogeneous processor design, offering up to 32 cores and support for the latest AI applications. Clearwater Forest will also include Intel’s Deep Learning Boost technology, allowing for more powerful cloud computing and inference-type workloads.

Overall, the upcoming series of Xeon CPUs from Intel could be a game-changer in a number of industries, from enterprise computing to high-performance computing. With features such as higher core counts and transistors, better IPC and heterogeneous processor design, these CPUs will certainly be worth the wait.
