TapTechNews reports on May 11th that a new set of benchmark results for Intel’s SierraForest processor has emerged on the Geekbench database.
The test sample used the Intel BeechnutCity test motherboard, operating on CentOS Stream 9 OS and featured a total memory capacity exceeding 1000GB (approximately 1TB).
Previous leaks have indicated that BeechnutCity is a dual socket LGA4710 platform motherboard, supporting the installation of two Xeon 6 series -SP processors; whereas the high-end dual socket test motherboard platform codenamed AvenueCity is designed for -AP series Xeon 6 processors.
The recently exposed sample was configured with two top-spec SierraForest-SP series processors (144 cores each), totaling 288 cores and 288 threads.
Each 144-core SierraForest-SP processor includes 72MB of L2 cache and 108MB of L3 cache, leading up to a total of 180MB of high-speed cache per CPU.
However, the sample maintained the same base frequency of 2.2GHz as seen in benchmarks from December last year.
An earlier report by TapTechNews mentioned that Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger planned to discuss how Intel Xeon processors deliver exceptional performance per watt efficiency during his keynote speech at the 2024 Taipei International Computer Expo.
It is anticipated that the new 'SierraForest' Xeon 6 efficient core version will be officially released at that time.
