Intel’s brand new Granite Rapids series of CPUs is launching today and in an attempt of trying some new types of content we recorded an off the cuff and first thoughts video during the event Intel had up in Oregon.
This is a new type of video that I thought you guys may enjoy, and if you do please comment either here on this page or on the YouTube video itself on what we could improve with this format. There will also be an interview with Ronak Singhal, Intel Senior Fellow, coming up in the next few days.
Hope y’all enjoy!
We would like to thank Intel for flying us out to their event up in Hillsboro, OR.

Amd adopts multiple chiplets and 1 IO die
whilst intel flank the cores with 2 IO die, would you have any thoughts on what are the difference there?
Where does the bottleneck for AMD 1 IO die setup start showing up?
What bothers me is
the IO die is ever so slightly longer than the Core die. Must be Intel’s master plan of some sort
Sorry, I know this is unrelated but in the spec article I am unable to comment due to reciving nonce verification failure. Any idea what could be a problem?
There are also some other initial reviews on Granite Rapids (eg on Phoronix, Servethehome) that also found a significant uplift in performance. Good for all of us, if nothing else, it’ll keep AMD on its toes and the ARMada honest!
General request regarding your videos: please post a transcript of the interview on this (your) site also. As far as I am concerned, there’s no need to edit such transcripts much except for a quick read through for obvious transcription errors, those automatically generated transcripts do get some words wrong once in a while, but otherwise an interview can (IMHO) be quite “raw”. Thanks!
