Intel recently launched its 128-core “Granite Rapids” Xeon 6900P processor family, finally offering some true competition to AMD’s EPYC 9004 Genoa/Bergamo server line.

The first reviews praised Intel’s new chips, with the overall consensus being that the 6900P range successfully heralded Intel’s long-awaited resurgence in the server CPU arena.

While Intel must have been pleased with the reception to its new processors, there was an elephant in the room. The Xeon 6900P processors were pitted up against aging rivals – Genoa is almost two years old now – and AMD had its 5th Gen EPYC “Turin” CPUs in the starting blocks.
