Intel Xeon Granite Rapids processors: a massive memory upgrade
The latest version of Intel 9.33 reveals exciting details about the size of the memory
The newly released version 9.33 of Intel Software Development Emulator (SDE) sheds light on interesting details regarding the size of the Tier 3 (L3) cache in the upcoming 6th generation Intel Xeon Granite Rapids processors.
Memory evolution in Intel Xeon processors
The simulator reveals that the Xeon Granite Rapids series processors will have a large 480MB Tier 3 cache, a notable increase from 320MB in 5th generation Xeon Emerald Rapids processors.
Intel's focus on boosting the size of the Tier 3 cache began with the 112.5MB fourth-generation Xeon Sapphire Rapids processors. This capacity increases with each generation to reach 320 MB with the fifth generation, an improvement of 184%.
Impact performance across different applications
Enhanced Tier 3 cache size in Xeon Granite Rapids processors is expected to improve performance in AI, data centers, video encoding, and more. This difference was evident in the fifth-generation Xeon Platinum 8592 processor, which achieved a significant leap in performance compared to the fourth generation.
Expected version and manufacturing accuracy
Intel is scheduled to launch its sixth-generation Xeon Granite Rapids series processors later this year, which features a manufacturing accuracy of 3nm.
