Intel introduces a new generation of Xeon processors, also known as “Cascade Lake Refresh”. It features several advances to better compete with the Epyc Rome of its rival AMD.
These chips, still based on 14nm etching, play with different parameters to improve their competitiveness. Intel is increasing the number of cores, increasing frequencies and optimizing the price/performance ratio.
This launch is not really a surprise, considering that it has been announced in several reports for several days. The giant brings 18 new references, ranging from 8 to 24 cores. However, this “refresh” is not complete. For the time being, it only concerns the gold, silver and bronze families. The platinum series remains unchanged. However, it benefited from a price reduction a few weeks ago.
Xeon Cascade Lake Refresh, Intel optimizes the benefit/price ratio
According to Intel, these new features offer up to 36% more performance while optimizing the price/performance ratio by 42% compared to Xeon Cascade Lake’s offering. On this point, the press release states
“The new Intel Xeon Gold 6200 processors offer a turbo boost of up to 4.5 GHz and up to 33% cache …] In mainstream use, the new Intel Xeon Gold 6200R and 5200R processors offer improved performance through a combination of higher Turbo Boost and base frequencies and a larger processor cache. These new features come with increased value and capabilities for entry-level applications “
These 18 new processors can be identified by the letter “R” in their name (R for Refresh). Here is the complete list of their specifications.
