Intel's 2022 Investor Meeting Talks Up Sierra Forst, Falcon Shores & More

Following this morning's quick article, some of the other highlights for the 2022 Intel Investor Meeting included a mix of reaffirming prior plans/announcements as well as some tid-bits of new information:
- Initial revenue shipments of Sapphire Rapids is expected to begin in March. Though it won't be ramping up production until Q2 as previously reported.
- Emerald Rapids for 2023 is built on the Intel 7 process node like Sapphire Rapids while further improving the performance, memory, and security capabilities while being socket-compatible with Sapphire Rapids.
- Granite Rapids that follows Emerald Rapids and coming in 2024 will now use an Intel 3 process node rather than Intel 4 previously announced.
- Sierra Forest is coming in 2024 as a new E-core-based Xeon processor. The use of the E cores allows for accommodating much higher core counts than P cores. Should be interesting for public cloud providers and will be on the Intel 3 process node.
- Raptor Lake is on-track for shipping in the second half of this year. Raptor Lake will be up to 24 cores and 32 threads while retaining socket compatibility with Alder Lake.
- Meteor Lake is powering on next quarter atop the Intel 4 process node and is on track for shipping in 2023. Meteor Lake will feature "next gen" graphics, integrated AI acceleration, and continue the hybrid core design.
- Arrow Lake is confirmed for after Meteor Lake and to then be followed by Lunar Lake.
