Intel's upcoming Xeon 7 "Diamond Rapids" server CPUs reportedly delayed to 2027 — Next-gen Coral Rapids lineup lands 2028 but can be accelerated, according to new leak

Intel's Xeon 7 "Diamond Rapids" server CPUs have been delayed to 2027, with the 8-channel variant canceled in favor of focusing on 16-channel SKUs. The lineup will feature up to 256 cores initially, with a 512-core version to follow shortly after. Diamond Rapids will lack hyperthreading support, unlike the next-gen Coral Rapids lineup, which is expected to launch in mid-2028 with 8-channel variants. Intel may accelerate the rollout of Coral Rapids based on market demand. AMD's EPYC Venice CPUs are still on track for a 2026 release.

Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus vs AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D — Can Intel finally beat X3D?

Intel's Arrow Lake Refresh CPUs, the Core Ultra 7 270K Plus and Ryzen 7 7800X3D, are compared for gaming and productivity. The 270K Plus, with 24 cores and 24 threads, offers better gaming performance, but the 7800X3D leads in gaming benchmarks by 10.4%. In productivity tests, the 270K Plus excels with a 29% lead in single-threaded performance and a significant advantage in multi-threaded tasks. Intel's CPU also wins in overclocking capabilities, offering more performance-enhancing features. However, the 7800X3D is more power-efficient and costs less, making it a strong competitor.

AMD's memory-boosting EXPO 1.2 is here, adds support for three Chinese memory vendors — performance gains could be muted until Zen 6

AMD has released EXPO 1.2, a memory-boosting technology for AM5 motherboards, enhancing memory overclocking capabilities and supporting three Chinese memory vendors. Notable improvements include support for module geometry, MRDIMMs for higher bandwidth, and Ultra Low Latency mode for reduced memory latency. However, the full performance gains may only be realized with AMD's upcoming Zen 6 processors. Asus has begun rolling out beta firmware with EXPO 1.2 support, signaling a commitment to enhancing the AM5 platform, though the full impact may not be felt until Zen 6 processors arrive in late 2026 or early 2027.
