The 10nm process has been slow to be put into mass production. The evolution of Intel's various product lines has been greatly hindered. It can only delay the new platform and temporarily add various transitional products. The desktop is the same, and the server is also the same.
According to a PPT accidentally leaked from Central South University, Intel will launch its next generation server platform, Cascade Lake-SP, by the end of this year. , but still 14nm process, up to 28 cores, the architecture is basically the same, just a refresh upgrade, And throughout the 2019, there is only this platform.
You know, AMD will come up with a new 7nm technology next year, and a new generation of EPYC Opteron servers with Zen2's new architecture.
Although it is impossible for AMD to cause fatal damage to Intel in a short period of time, with the strengthening of AMD products and market competitiveness, Intel's dominance in the server and data center market will be seriously threatened.
Former Intel CEO Ke Zaiqi has long admitted that it may be able to steal up to 20% of the server market share by AMD.
Intel 10nm new platform will wait until 2020 However, in addition to the Ice Lake-SP, which was officially mentioned in the official code, there is also a new Cooper Lake-SP.
Previously it was rumored that the Cooper Lake-SP is still based on the 14nm process, but from this roadmap, the two are obviously the same big platform, so it might just be a backup to prevent the 10nm process from happening again, Ice Lake -SP can't be launched smoothly.
Time, Cooper Lake-SP is indeed earlier, will debut in 2019, and Ice Lake-SP will be in the second quarter of 2020.
Both support Barlow Pass DIMM Technology, not clear about the specific situation, but it is very likely A new generation of Optane DC Persistent Memory DIMMCascade Lake-SP will be supported for the first time.
In addition, they both support Eight channel memory And there will be major changes in the OmniPath bus.
As can be seen from the road map, There seems to be no new planning for the Xeon Phi product line. The Cascade Lake-AP was in the Ming Dynasty. According to the rumor it is a glue package of Cascade Lake-SP, the two cores are integrated to provide up to 56 cores.
Considering that Xeon Phi products have begun to retire and there is no new generation, does this mean that the Xeon Phi coprocessor acceleration project ends here?
