Intel aims at AMD's Threadripper with its new Granite Rapids-WS CPU — chip armed with core count approaching the flagship AMD Threadripper 9995WX, boasts a 4.8GHz boost clock
Intel is preparing to launch the Granite Rapids-WS CPU to rival AMD's Threadripper series, featuring 86 cores, 172 threads, and a 4.8GHz boost clock. This chip, based on the Granite Rapids architecture, could potentially outpace AMD's 96-core Threadripper 9995WX. The Granite Rapids lineup may scale up to 128 cores, with the 86-core variant potentially reducing manufacturing costs for Intel. This new CPU marks Intel's first serious attempt in years to compete with AMD in the high-end desktop and workstation market.
