Targeting data centre customers

Intel Sierra Forest, its first semiconductor for data centre customers focused on power efficiency, , would be delivered in the first half of next year.

Chipzilla has been telling the world+dog about its new chip release schedule which has been reviewed after prior delays.

Sierra Forest will use only E-cores to achieve higher core counts to compete with AMD's Epyc server processors codenamed Bergamo which features up to 128 smaller Zen 4c cores.

The Gracemont E-cores featured in Sierra Forest processors only contain one thread for each core. The purpose of the Sierra Forest architecture design is to achieve ultra-high core counts for greater compute density that would benefit cloud and HPC server applications.

Intel Data Centre and AI Group head Sandra Rivera said that it had been a challenging few years as her team had to stuff a lot of new innovation and complexity into the new chips. This caused Intel’s product release dates to be pushed out.
