  1. Intel Xeon 600 Granite Rapids is easily Intel’s most interesting workstation launch in years.

    - Up to 86 cores & 4TB DDR5 support
    - AMX FP16 accelerators tuned for AI inference & local LLMs
    - 128 PCIe 5.0 lanes + CXL 2.0 for multi‑GPU builds

  2. #AMD #EPYC #Turin vs. #Intel #Xeon 6 #GraniteRapids vs. #Graviton4 Benchmarks With #AWS #M8 Instances
    From #AI and #HPC to video encoding/transcoding, compilation, and traditional LAMP, 5th Gen AMD EPYC powering AWS M8a instances were delivering best performance overall against AWS Graviton4 and Intel Xeon 6. Even though Graviton4 offers lowest cost/hour, AMD EPYC Turin was routinely delivering much better performance-per-dollar across most of the workloads tested.

  3. Since Intel's #GraniteRapids identifies as Family 19, does that mean we're looking at i1986 (after 3 decades of i686)?
    Obviously i686/amd64 binaries will continue to work, but i1986 binaries won't work at all on older systems. (Current ISA extensions can often be used behind ifunc dispatch - but APX wants to affect *everything*.)
    This seems like a perfect opportunity for an #ABI break, no?

  4. #Intel #Xeon 6980P "#GraniteRapids" #Linux #Benchmarks Review
    The Xeon 6980P #CPU does manage to land well in front of the AMD EPYC 9684X flagship Genoa-X SKU overall along with the EPYC 9754 Bergamo processors. Generationally around 1.38x the performance with Granite Rapids compared to the prior Emerald Rapids with twice as many cores. AMD is about to launch the 5th Gen EPYC "Turin" it will be very interesting to see how those compete with #XEON6!
