Intel spills the beans on Cascade Lake Ahead of the annual Supercomputing 2018 conference Chipzilla has announced part of its upcoming Cascade Lake strategy and teased plans for a new Xeon platform called Cascade Lake Advanced Performance, or Cascade Lake-AP. The announcement comes before the Supercomputing 2018 conference where more details are expected to be announced. Cascade Lake-AP doubles the cores per socket from an Intel system by joining several Cascade Lake Xeon dies together on a single package with the blue team's Ultra Path Interconnect, or UPI. Intel will allow Cascade Lake-AP servers to employ up to two-socket (2S) topologies, for as many as 96 cores per server. Intel chose to share two competitive performance numbers alongside the disclosure of Cascade Lake-AP. One of these is that a top-end Cascade Lake-AP system can put up 3.4x the Linpack throughput of a dual-socket AMD Epyc 7601 platform. If this benchmark proves true it could hurt AMD. The AVX-512 instruction set gives Intel CPUs a major leg up on the competition in high-performance computing applications where floating-point throughput is paramount. Intel used its own compilers to create binaries for this comparison, and that decision could create favourable Linpack performance results versus AMD CPUs too. https://fudzilla.com/news/pc-hardwar...n-cascade-lake |
