Intel Sapphire Rapids CPU with 20 cores spotted on Geekbench

Intel will be launching its next-gen 10nm Sapphire Rapids Xeon CPUs in the first half of 2022, and it will be a huge improvement over Ice Lake Xeon processors. However, already the engineering samples of Sapphire Rapids server CPUs are being benchmarked in the midst of this.

Also, the initial performance of these upcoming Intel server processors looks promising as in Geekbench, this 20 cores and 40 threads CPU was spotted running in the dual-socket.

It is reportedly running at just 1.5GHz base frequency; however, the JSON output from the Geekbench reported the right clock speeds at around 4.68-4.70 GHz. These are really high numbers, so it might be possible that it could be an error from Geekbench or somehow might be the real clock speed.

Though it is too good to be real, because Sapphire Rapids will also launch as HEDT consumer CPU, so, this engineering sample might be really having high clock speeds as it’s too early to jump to conclusions. Though the model, platform of the CPU is not confirmed by Geekbench, however, the identifier reveals the CPU family, which is Family 6 Model 143 Stepping 2.

Intel reference platform is codenamed as VulcanCity while the CPU was tested with 32GB of memory (most probably DDR5). However, what’s more interesting to see is the loads of cache memory provided by Intel including 75MB of L3 cache and 40MB of L2 cache.

When run on a dual-socket system, this CPUs cores 1340 points in single-core and 31,666 points in multi-core tests. Considering these are in dual sockets, the performance is not that convincing as its an engineering sample, still it beats the Ryzen 9 5950X with 4 extra cores.

The Sapphire Rapids HEDT CPUs will be supported by the W790 chipset instead of a standard ‘X’ series chip. The Xeon W-3175X (Skylake-X) already exists for the workstation segment, which supports a non-X chipset. Analysts claim that team blue aims to tackle AMD Ryzen Threadripper & Threadripper Pro series CPUs with its HEDT & workstation lineup.

These processors will be using Intel’s 10nm Enhanced SuperFin architecture, and it will also have PCIe 5.0 support. Also read on the availablability of these CPUs: Intel’s latest update over the performance and availability of its Sapphire Rapids
