Just weeks after Intel's product roadmaps purportedly leaked, we accept an official update from the company itself. At a data centre elevation today, Intel gave fresh guidance on when it expects to have new silicon and products in-market place. Now we accept some thought how the company volition adjust for delays to its 10nm node and what the next circular of products volition look like for data centers.

Start up, courtesy of Tom'south Hardware: Cascade Lake. Cascade Lake will launch in 2022 and characteristic two major capabilities: Support for Intel'south Optane Persistent Retentivity DIMMs, and congenital-in hardware mitigation to protect against attacks like Meltdown and Spectre. Just including the latter could assist spur upgrade cycles — while consumer workloads oasis't seen major performance problems from the various mitigations and protections, some server workloads took a pregnant penalty. With new Spectre vulnerabilities periodically being discovered, any hardware-based security could button companies to replace their older hardware.

Pour Lake volition have an optimized enshroud bureaucracy (no word on how this is unlike from the optimized caches Intel deployed for Skylake-X) and will support a new AVX-512 adequacy, VNNI, when executing car learning workloads.

Next upwards, Cooper Lake. Cooper Lake is a 14nm chip with hardware acceleration back up for Google's floating signal format, Bfloat16. Intel has been extending support for Bfloat16 across its hardware in 2022 — earlier this year it added support to the Nervana NNP-L1000. Bfloat16 offers a truncated 16-bit version of the 32-bit IEEE754 binary32 floating bespeak format. Bfloat16 only supports 7 bits of precision, but this is generally more than than sufficient for automobile learning applications. Cooper Lake, according to Tom's, will debut on a 14nm++ process, which seems to answer whether or not Intel intends to keep pushing ++'s at us with each successive process node revamp, if any changes to 14nm are planned at all. Assuming they are not, Intel will probable have problem pushing clocks much college.

One tidbit about Cooper Lake-SP, however, is that it'll exist socket compatible with Water ice Lake, even though the latter will be congenital on a 10nm procedure. That's a touch unusual for Intel, but it ways Cooper Lake-SP and Ice Lake-SP will share the LGA4198 platform. Release dates haven't been discussed, merely Intel's server shipments typically lag its desktop CPUSEEAMAZON_ET_135 See Amazon ET commerce and mobile introductions, which explains why the company is talking virtually having 10nm in-market for the holidays 2022 merely still projects a 2022 launch appointment for Ice Lake-SP. These dates besides suggest that Intel won't debut 10nm for mobile first, with desktop and server fries following 12 months or more later. Instead, it'll apparently move from fourteen++ to 10nm across all of its production families.
