Intel Cooper Lake-SP: 56-core/112-thread Xeon processors for LGA 4189

In its latest press release, Intel announced plans to release 14nm, 56-core server chips for the LGA 4189 socket in 2020. This socket is part of Intel's new Whitley platform, which will eventually support 10nm Ice Lake-based Xeons.

According to Intel, the Xeon Scalable Cooper Lake-SP processor family will feature up to 56 cores with multi-threading support. This level of performance was previously only available with 400W TDP Cascade Lake-AP processors. The current Cascade Lake-SP family maxes out at 28 cores.

As for Intel's 10nm Ice Lake-SP processors, they are expected to arrive in approximately Q2 2020. These chips will offer up to 26 cores and support 8-channel DDR4 memory. Crucially, Ice Lake-SP processors will also feature PCIe 4.0 support.

Ice Lake-SP processors will be based on the new Sunny Cove architecture, which is expected to deliver a much-needed boost in overall efficiency.

However, this is all still in the future. Meanwhile, AMD's 7nm Zen 2-based Epyc server processors are launching very soon. They'll deliver higher core/thread counts, increased IPC, and PCIe 4.0 this year.
