Some mentioned this Ice Lake Server chip. I didn’t see much about the avx512 enhancements or pcie4, but there were several customers talking about use of Optane DIMMs in their systems.

I wonder if the Optane DIMM advantage trumps any delays in 7nm processing, especially now that AMD’s pcie4 advantage is disappearing.

Intel also announced that Sapphire Rapids is “broadly sampling”. That adds pcie5, AMX, CXL, avx512 bfloat16, DDR5 capabilities out there being evaluated, along with a new 10ESF process and new core architecture.
