Intel Diamond Rapids to boost core counts to 192, but RIP Hyperthreading
Intel has announced its upcoming Diamond Rapids Xeon processor, which will feature a significant increase in core counts to 192. However, this increase comes with the elimination of Hyperthreading, a technology that has been part of Intel's offerings since 2002. The Diamond Rapids is expected to be released in 2027, but AMD's competing product may arrive a year earlier.
- ▪The Diamond Rapids Xeon will boost core counts to 192, a 50 percent increase over the previous generation.
- ▪Intel has decided to discontinue Hyperthreading, reducing thread counts by a quarter.
- ▪The release of Diamond Rapids is scheduled for 2027, while AMD's Venice Epycs may launch a year sooner.
