3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable - Top Xeons of 2020

The series of updates for the 2020 processor year has finally reached the largest, most expensive and server models - the Xeon Scalable. The new, now third generation Scalable (Cooper Lake family) still uses the 14nm process but is molded into the new LGA4189 socket. The first announcement includes 11 Platinum and Gold models for four- and eight-socket servers.

Even before the advent of the Scalable concept, Intel Xeon processors earned themselves the reputation of powerful "number crushers" - such locomotives of the processor world. However, the days of the triumph of brute force are over, now, in addition to power, intelligence is also required for success. Each new generation of Xeon gets new hardware skills - let's see what's new in the next, third.

• Enhanced Intel Deep Learning Boost с Vector Neural Network Instructions and hardware support Brain Floating Point 16-bit increase the speed of inference and training of neural networks up to 2 times compared to the previous generation.
• Increased number of lines Intel Ultra Path Interconnect (up to 6) increase the speed of data exchange between the processor and memory.
• Increased memory capacity and speed - up to 256 GB DDR4-3200 per socket.
• Another instruction executor has been added to the Intel AVX-512 block Fused Multiply Add (FMA) - starting with the Intel Xeon Gold 5300, there are now two of them.
• Support for a full set of devices based on Intel Optane technology, including Intel Optane Persistent Memory 200

In total, as already mentioned, released eleven Xeon Platinum and Xeon Gold models - that's all of them.
