Tests of Intel's 24-core, 48-thread, 10nm Ice Lake SP chip leak online
Tests of a 24-core, 48-thread 10nm Intel Ice Lake SP chip have surfaced online. It shows significant performance gains and could compete with AMD EPYC.
Just hours ago, our colleagues at videocardz.com published benchmarks for an unknown 10nm, 24-core, 48-thread Intel processor based on the Sunny Cove architecture and designed for the Whitley platform.
It's important to remember this is an engineering sample. Final Ice Lake SP processors will likely feature higher clock speeds and optimizations, which should translate to slightly improved performance.
The tested chip's maximum frequency of just 2900 MHz also suggests it's a relatively early engineering sample. Modern Intel server CPUs, even those based on the older 14nm process, typically feature slightly higher clock speeds.
Geekbench results:

Single-threaded performance is also quite impressive at 4,000 points. For comparison, Intel's Purley platform typically scores between 2,500 and 3,400 points.
If these results are indicative of final products, Intel's server chips could offer significant competition to AMD's incredibly successful EPYC (Milan) processors.
