Intel's upcoming Xeon 7 'Diamond Rapids' processors will feature up to 192 Panther Cove cores, 16 DDR5 memory channels, PCIe Gen 6 support, and a 500W TDP.

Holy smokes that's a lot of memory bandwidth if true!

AMD still isn't entertaining a 4-socket platform?

Hopefully, with that power envelope, they will also have a 32 core high clock version for HPC. 192 cores is good for virtualization and things like that, but typically the clock speeds are lower.

Finally. It only took Intel ten years to make a real CPU. If you don't have at least 100 cores why bother

Turbo clocks will take care of that ... you need to look into 32 cores max turbo out of 192 cores..

IMO, no. HPC specific models are designed different than the many-core versions.

The air coolers by Dynatron go up to 660W for Intel and 600W for AMD.

It's true that some of that could just be headroom, but liquid cooling would take us even further.

We should be able to get more than just 32 cores at higher clocks, and an increased cache size for HPC.

Instead of a race for the most cores it's looking like a race for the most pins, and who can break 10K first; which is great, since it means more PCIe lanes, faster CXL, increased memory bandwidth and interprocessor communication; unless everything collapses when optical comes in a few years.
