So are these Xeon-W parts considered to be ‘Fishawk Falls’ or is that something different? Also, are they using Golden Cove and not Raptor Cove? Golden Cove on Client went into z690, Raptor Cove is paired with Z790. But for Workstation, WZ790 is paired with Golden Cove, not Raptor Cove?
 
These parts should be Golden Cove, but it's not the same design as the desktop version is (if you look up any of the original architecture articles the differences will be in there). If I had to take a guess I'd assume yields and validation with regards to EMIB are the likely reason for all these delays.

there is no way this can be Intel's answer to Threadripper. They'll get eaten alive. In some metrics, this is worse than Intel's previous Xeon gen.
The only improvements I can see are the cache size and the Core/Thread count. There better be PCIe 5.0 lanes.
