Phoronix: Intel Launches Xeon 6900P Series "Granite Rapids" Processors

Building off the launch earlier this year of the first Xeon 6 processors with the Xeon 6700E "Sierra Forest" processors, today Intel is lifting the wraps on the much anticipated Xeon 6900P "Granite Rapids" processors. Where as Sierra Forest is optimized for power efficiency and core density, the Intel Xeon 6 P-core processors are optimized for per-core performance and have shown some very strong generational uplift -- and against the AMD competition -- as we'll show today in the first Xeon 6980P Linux benchmarks.

Don't see this mentioned, which node are they using?

Intel 3 for compute tiles and Intel 7 for IO tiles - source.

What about APX/AVX10 support?

What about APX/AVX10 support?

Granite Rapids is supposed to have AVX10.1 support (2̵5̵6̵-̵b̵i̵t̵?̵ 512-bit). APX is still listed as "future processors".

Granite Rapids is supposed to have AVX10.1 support (256-bit?). APX is still listed as "future processors".

AVX10.1 has both 256-bit and 512-bit versions, and Granite Rapids is 512-bit, so it supports AVX10.1/512 as per specification (page 15).

Thank you! There were speculations about APX support in GR, but it looks that we need to wait a bit more for that.
